    ABOUT THIS COFFEE

    Character
    About this coffee The Sonora L9 is a great coffee with a creamy and sweet texture. We roasted it as an espresso to highlight its rich and decadent flavor profile. This espresso coffee is full-bodied, but very clean and crisp. Sonora L9 has a sugary sweetness. You'll taste super sweet caramel fudge in the cup, along with bittersweet walnuts and fruity red plum. The aftertaste is sweet with a hint of fresh clementines. The cherries of the L9 variety are slowly dried in the sun after harvest. By leaving the pulp on the bean first, it can absorb all the sweetness of the ripe cherry. As a result, the coffee will later develop a rich sweetness. After about 10-12 days of drying, the cherries are pulped - the dry skin separated from the beans - and stored for a few more days. The resting period must take place at a certain temperature so that the beans reach a certain degree of moisture. This type of processing is called 'Natural'. It is especially environmentally friendly because, for example, unlike the washed method, it uses very little water.
