El Morito began as a multigenerational family project and was formalized as an association in 2022. David Flores, Felipe’s nephew and a producer we have featured at September before, is the current General Manager of El Morito. Felipe manages El Morito’s storage warehouses and is known for his reliability and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProcessing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Caturra lot is traditionally washed. Felipe handpicks ripe coffee cherries at El Robele and sorts them accordingly. The cherries are floated to remove any defects. Prior to de-pulping, the whole coffee cherries will remain in airtight tanks for 48 hours to enhance their natural sweetness. As with most washed processes, the mucilage of the coffee cherry is fully removed during the de-pulping process so all that remains is the wet coffee parchment within. The coffee parchment is then rinsed with fresh water and dried in solar dryers and under shade for approximately 20 to 25 days. Working alongside the team at El Morito, Felipe then preps his dried lot for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVariety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety. It was originally discovered on a plantation in the early 1900s. It has a single gene mutation that causes the plant to grow smaller so the actual coffee plant is quite small in stature and height. Caturra has a high nutritional requirement and is quite susceptible to leaf rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SEPTEMBER COFFEE COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":53582316732695,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5101\/2119\/files\/lemonmeraigne.webp?v=1782524742","url":"https:\/\/cool-beans.ca\/products\/september-lemon-meringue-peru-washed-caturra","provider":"coolbeans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
