Certifications:

SHG/SHB- “Strictly Hard Bean/ Strictly High Grown”; a qualification of this coffee that certifies this coffee to be grown at high altitudes, specifically above 1350m, arguably the ideal height for gourmet coffee. The long maturation of the coffee cherries allows for greater development of nutrients in the bean, making them denser and more flavorful. This makes for a complex body and balance with the right amount of acidity to bring all the components together.

EP- “European Preparation”; a processing verification that guarantees the beans are hand-sorted to remove any sub-par beans and foreign material such as dirt and leaves.
