light roasted, this profile delivers solid heat at the onset while slowly pulling back to lengthen the time in maillard but reach first crack with enough momentum to finish quickly with enough development.

story
The NASA indigenous community of Togoima is tightly knit and resilient, but often faces difficulties with reliable, fairly compensated market access.
The blend consists of caturra, tabi, cenicafe 1, Castillo, bourbon, and sometimes maragogype varieties. By tradition, the community pulps their cherries about 12 hours after picking them at ideal ripeness. the cherries are pulped with very little water and are left with plenty of mucilage.
Julieth and Jackie of the Liz-Andela family do most of the purchasing and blending. They purchase the coffee from their neighbours at a flexible rate that is guaranteed 10% higher than the market rate. its usually a lot higher, but sometimes the market can rise in a tidal fashion, so that helps set a minimum. They cup and blend the coffees at their family farm in the very same neighbourhood. Their brother ervin, of native root coffee, then receives, warehouses, and exports it to lulo hq.
