Description: Raul Manueles comes to us by way of Marysabel and Moises who own Caballeros farm and the Xinacla mill, and who gave us our last batch of Fruity/Funky Honduras. Raul has worked with Moises for many years managing the Xinacla mill, and the two are now more like brothers. Raul however began working in coffee at only 16 years of age, and has only known coffee throughout is working career. At 20 years old he married his wife, and they started their farms together. He is now 65 years old, and him and Moises are as tight as ever. Raul says it would be difficult for him to work at a coffee mill without Moises.

Another strawberry forward flavor bomb from the Caballeros farm! Although still very light, we get strong milk chocolate and strawberry notes from this batch, with subtle hints of plum and pear in the coffees juicy body. 

This lot was dried and processed as a natural after an extended fermentation where the coffee was in grainpro bags for 72 hours before being moved to the patios. Once fermented, drying took 20-25 days to reach a moisture content around 10.5% and was then rested prior to final milling for export.
