About: Where’s the machete at? This year Ovidio ‘Machete’ Gomez produced his first anaerobically fermented coffees. Since it was his first time, he carried out several experiments, fermenting different lots from 48 hours all the way out to 96 hours! This 96-hour lot was an absolute standout, with the extended fermentation developing greater sweetness, complexity, and mouthfeel. We are getting ready for a big 2020 with Ovidio. Expect some exotic flavours to shoot out of Finca El Paraiso and into your cups!
