The Leica Espresso from Finca Santa Rita is crema magazine's test winner. What a surprise and joy! Being the test winner is great in itself. But no other coffee could be more gratifying. After all, it comes from our own Santa Rita farm and was roasted by our roastery. So, we've truly followed this coffee from cultivation to the cup.
Espresso Leica is a farm blend made from the Caturra and Catuaí varieties. We divided the farm into seven micro-lots. Each micro-lot is named after one of the previous owners. Leica wasn't the owner, but rather the farm's female dog, who gave birth to 11 puppies in the spring. This blend is named after her and is dedicated to her.
Price and use
Roasted for espresso preparation in the portafilter machine or French press.
250g | 12 CHF
profile
The Leica Espresso is very balanced and has a wonderfully smooth texture. It is reminiscent of dark chocolate, slightly fruity (cherries), and has a long aftertaste.
Processing
Here, we chose the region's traditional processing method: the cherries were picked by hand, sorted in a washing tunnel, and washed. We then let them rest for 16 hours in the shade and overnight, a process known as a "reposa." A slight fermentation begins, but develops slowly due to the cool nighttime temperatures. This practice gives the coffee a touch of fruit and more sweetness. The next day, the cherries were pulped and washed. Pre-dried in the beneficio, they were then transported to the dry mill in Ocotal, where they were dried to 12% fermentation over 10 days in partial shade.
Free Shipping
Anyone who wants to try it can order the coffee free of shipping costs until November 26, 2018.
