Rob says: The "Carnaval" lot from Cajamarca, created by four collaborating producers - Juver Diaz, the Vasquez brothers Carlos & Osvaldo and Celso Carrasco - celebrates both the region's renowned coffee and its vibrant Carnaval Cajamarquino festival. Originating in the 1930s as a family tradition, Carnaval Cajamarquino has evolved into a joyous celebration that unites entire communities.
Fun fact: Might you be wondering why this coffee lot has these special and sweeter notes and it is because of the fermentation process. These coffees have been fermented for longer hours than the rest, which is mostly just 24 hours.
