    Description

    The coffee

    This yellow Icatu grows in the part of the farm that used to be a theme park. Called the Train Lot, it’s located inside what used to be the park’s old train ride. Once ripe, it takes on a beautiful shade of yellow with brown spots (like a ripe banana) and is selectively harvested.

    The process

    Once the coffee is harvested, it is dried on patios located within the farm and receives a lot of cool breeze. This breeze creates a natural balance between direct sunlight and allows the coffee to dry gently in the sun. Once dry, it is bagged and sent to the mill warehouse for safe storage. Once an order is placed, the coffee is processed and shipped from the mill. The coffee is continually cupped by certified Q Graders to ensure safe storage and optimal quality.
