For many years, El Limon farm grew avocado as their star product, but this changed when crops like poppy and coca entered the region, along with the guerrilla. There were years of instability and violence that forced many families to flee from their farms to the capital cities. Years later, farmers returned and de
cided en masse to plant coffee, as the sunlight, rain cycles, and soils with high organic matter created an ideal ecosystem for coffee cultivation.
On his farm, Jose runs his own micromill, where Cherry is processed for defects, depulped and dried on-site. Parchment coffee is loaded onto a mule for transport or driven to the nearest dry mill. When coffee does not require immediate attention, Jose focuses on growing food for his family, and improving the construction of his processing area or home.
This lot is extremely well balanced and approachable, with notes of cherry cordial, meyer lemon, and molasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
We roast Monday through Friday, and most orders ship the next roast day from when they are placed.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
