Manhattan Colombia Panela Sticky (Espresso)

Panela Sticky is one of our all time favorites to hit the Exceptional category!

This specific coffee comes via a partnership between Cafe 1959 and Finca El Diamante. Cafe 1959 runs a program where they process cherries from different farms at their La Clarita drying station. They partnered up with El Diamante to make a collab where they wanted to create a product that was sweet, clean, bright, and easy to drink as their main focus.

For this lot, the cherries were collected and put into Grainpro bags in order to start the 13-hour nighttime trip from Huila to Quindio, where the 1959 fermentation and drying facility is located. Traveling during the night helps to control the temperature in the first stage of the fermentation that takes place in the truck.
