THE ORIGIN

David Flores is a third generation farmer and helms El Morito, where he aims to improve the lives of smallholder farmers by directly exporting their coffees whilst ensuring quality and traceability. The Flores family also prioritises protecting their ecosystem, favouring compost over fertiliser to improve their soil conditions.

THE PROCESS

This coffee goes through a traditional natural process. Cherries are picked and laid on raised beds to dry. Natural sugars from the mucilage inside the cherries slowly ferment to produce the sweetness and dense body that natural coffees are known for.

WHY WE CHOSE THIS COFFEE

We believe the Marshell varietal is a reflection of both quality and the Peruvian terroir. Not only is it highly resistant to coffee leaf rust, but it also won the 2019 Peru COE, surpassing the Gesha. True to coffees from the Cajamarca region, Marshell has a deep rich sweetness with prominent acidity. We are tasting granny smiths, red tea and cantaloupe.
