Rob says: We’re excited to welcome a new name into our coffee family: ROGER CHILCON FLORES. What a name—it almost makes me wish mine sounded that good. There’s so much to share about this coffee, but what truly caught our attention is the processing.

Cherries are picked as ripe as possible before being pre-fermented overnight in bags. These macerated cherries are then depulped and fermented for 24 to 36 hours depending on the weather conditions. This extended fermentation and cherry maceration gives the cup a pronounced fruited note which complements the pronounced citric acidity that comes from the high altitude. Roger then dried all his coffee inside a ventilated greenhouse on a plastic lined, wooden patio. Once the coffee is below 11% moisture content Roger then brings the coffee down to Jaen where he delivers it to the Falcon Coffees Peru warehouse.
