El Vergel Gesha Marcela
El Vergel Estate has been producing a variety of coffees and experimenting with new and innovative processing techniques. This coffee is an anaerobic natural process Gesha Marcela.
In the words of El Vergel:
"This Gesha is one of the most demanding coffees to be produced at El Vergel, located at the highest part of the estate, this varietal was planted based on the soil and climate conditions specifically to promote an extended growth of the cherries to promote higher brix content. Planted in 2016 with a quantity of 12.300 plants, this micro-lot has been managed to find specific genetic branches of the Gesha to develop specific processed based on these genetic branches, for this coffee, was used a mix of 4 genetic branches, which gives more complexity to the profile, and by a CM fermentation obtains a very unique type of Gesha, with the characteristics of the variety and also a whole new face of Gesha possibilities."

Shyira CWS
Situated close to the famed Virunga Mountain (where you'll find the elusive Silverback Gorilla), the Shyira CWS washing station is relatively small with about 50 raised drying beds, though is the highest located in Rwanda.
Forward is one of the first international buyers to ever visit Shyira, witnessing its development and progress over the years. "In 2020 there was a significant mudslide that affected many of the near 2000 farmers who contribute their cherry to Shyira CWS. The purchase of this coffee, and a premium paid this season, has supported the re-development of their communities".

Decaf
El Vergel Condor Decaf
If you really must have decaf... then it should be delicious! :P
This decaf is a Red and Yellow Caturra, from La Roma in Tolima, Colombia - part of El Vergel's Partner Series.
The Sugar Cane Process originates in Colombia where sugar cane grows in abundance. As molasses is a key byproduct in sugar production it is ideal to be fermented to make ethanol alcohol due to its abundance. The ethanol is combined with acetic acid (vinegar), to create the solvent ethyl acetate (E.A.) which is a compound that naturally occurs in wine, beer, fruit, and vegetables. The coffee beans are steamed or soaked in water to help release caffeine from the seed structure. Afterwards the coffee undergoes an E.A. wash, which dissolves the caffeine. Finally, the seeds are cleaned with water again and then dried to a stable moisture level. We find this process results in a decaf coffee with a lovely, clean, and sweet flavour!

Cold Drip Concentrate
Don Eli Lactic Natural
** Limited Offering **
Tasting notes:
Kyoho Grape, Cocoa
Not to be confused with your standard cold brew immersion (which is steeping coffee with water), our method of making cold brew is similar (though a little different) to Japanese style cold drip (also known as "Dutch" cold brew).
This is a highly concentrated coffee at a 1:4 ratio (dilute 1 part concentrate to 4 parts water). Make cold brew lattes, or cold brew tonics (just swap the water!)
Cool tidbits:
1 bottle makes 1.6 litres of ready to drink coffee
Total Dissolved Solids reading of 7.5% to 8% (other concentrates are around 3%)
Diluting to our suggested recipes will yield a stronger brew at 1.5% (most cold brews average 1%).
