Let's talk about Santa Adela
Maximino and his wife Marlene are perfectionists who own a medium-sized farm in Jinotega called Santa Adela. Their pickings each day seem to be even more perfectly-ripe than the perfect pickings from the day before, which is why Gold Mountain Coffee Growers' staff found their coffee an excellent candidate for carbonic maceration. Their cherries for this lot are picked all morning and then journey two to three hours through the mountains to Finca Idealista, where they are double-fermented in an anaerobic environment as whole cherries. Staff take Brix refractometer and pH readings many times each day so that the level of fermentation and pH allow clean fruit notes to abound in the final cup, but none of these notes would be possible without their perfectionist-level of picking
