Jam & Botanicals: People Possession [Finca Voo] Cup of Excellence lot
This lot from Finca Voo in the prestigious Copey area of Tarrazú, Costa Rica, perfectly captures the story of its origin. Grown at extreme altitudes of 1,960 to 2,000 meters, the cool climate slows cherry maturation, allowing the Red Catuai varietal to develop massive complex sugars and distinct aromatics. The farm is managed by Solis & Cordero, producers known for their meticulous processing standards.
48-Hour Natural Process
To maximize the inherent sweetness of the Red Catuai, this lot underwent a 48-hour fermented Natural process. The whole cherries are left to ferment before the slow drying phase begins. This deliberate fermentation deepens the fruit characteristics, creating a profile that balances heavy jam-like sweetness with an unexpected, aromatic herbal freshness.
