Tastes Like:
Jaffa Cake, Braeburn Apple, + Cola.
Grown at an impressive 1,800 meters by Eli Chilcon and his family, this bean showcases the vibrant, fruity character of the 'Caturra' variety. High altitudes and careful processing result in a juicy, citrusy cup with notes of Jaffa cake, crisp apple, and cola sweetness. To tackle challenges from climate change, the Chilcon family has implemented shade trees, irrigation, and improved soil management.
After harvesting, cherries are meticulously processed with a 48-hour fermentation and dried for 14 days to enhance quality. This coffee features the artwork Synergy by Jade Kelly, part of Tate Collective's Open Call, inspired by Coffee by Tate’s values of quality, community, and gender equality.

From Coffee by Tate
Climate change and fluctuating temperatures are increasingly causing problems for plots at this altitude. Droughts have become more frequent, so one of the key ways to mitigate risk from climate impacts has been the installation of shade trees around the growing areas, as well as effective irrigation systems and fertilizer dispersal to maintain soil health. Following the harvest months of July to October, the picked cherries are rested before being pulped and rested again for 48 hours. They are then washed and dried for a period of around 14 days before being prepared for storage. Once ready, the coffee is taken to Falcon’s warehouse in Jaén, where it is assessed for quality. At this stage, a price is agreed upon, based on the cup score. Finally, the coffee is transported to a plant called Café Selva Norte SAC, checked for any defects, and then bagged and moved to the coast for shipping.
