Its marmalade acidity provides a juicy body, but is balanced by a milk chocolate sweetness. Black tea lingers through the finish, joined by a touch of apple cider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDetails\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ptscoffee.com\/blogs\/meet-our-farmers\/fernando-diaz-finca-santa-ana\" title=\"Meet PT's Direct Trade Partners: Nando Diaz of Finca Santa Ana\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNando Diaz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFarm:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Finca Santa Ana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa Rosa Department\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1,650-1,800 masl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Caturra, Bourbon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcess: \u003c\/b\u003ePineapple Fermentation, Washed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoast: \u003c\/b\u003eLight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Tea, Marmalade, Almond\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFernando 'Nando' Diaz's Pineapple Process begins by fermenting about 70 fresh pineapples for 48 hours to build a colony of wild yeast and bacteria. This will be enough to produce ten 69kg bags of green coffee. The depulped coffee is placed in a large fermentation tank and the fermented fruit is stirred in, followed by the juice (so it doesn’t sink right to the bottom). The coffee and fruit ferment together for a further 48 hours before the tank is drained and the coffee is washed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDirect Trade\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our eighth year working with Nando, a longtime Direct Trade partner of our sister company, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe farm has had multiple Cup of Excellence appearances, including #4 in 2010 and #16 in 2015.
