The Marshell variety’s juicy red berry flavours, complimented by a touch of booziness from the careful processing, really stood out to us. The complex natural processing demands more labour, technical skill and dedicated infrastructure, but when executed well it delivers remarkable results: vibrant fruit character and a candy-like sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee underwent a 72-hour controlled fermentation before drying, resulting in complex red-fruit flavours, boozy notes and a jammy sweetness. JJ Marck purchases coffee cherries directly from farmers, and does the fermentation and drying themselves to optimize flavor profiles and cup consistency. Fermentation occurs at higher, cooler altitudes, while drying takes place two hours away in lower, hotter, drier conditions, enabling careful control to create distinctive, small lots. Each stage, from cherry selection to final drying, requires meticulous oversight. With unpredictable weather and limited resources, consistent quality is challenging but achievable with structured protocols and targeted training.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnibal Garcia has been planting and harvesting coffee for more than 10 years. He says that the first few years were very difficult due to low coffee prices, so he decided to plant varieties other than Catimor, such as Yellow Bourbon, Geisha and Marshell. Today, he has divided the 4-hectare farm between himself and his two sons, whom he teaches to work hard and seek new opportunities. He and his sons were selected as partners by the exporter JJ Marck for their commitment to quality, openness to learning and the diverse varieties grown on their farm in the Agua Colorada region. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupply Chain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee was imported by Nordic Approach, who specialise in high scoring specialty coffees.

The team purchases whole cherries from smallholders such as Anibal Garcia and handle processing at their own facilities.
