Peru Diana Nolasco

Diana Nolasco is a continuation of Zest’s work with the Bosques Verdes Co-op in Peru. This coffee is from the 2022 Peru harvest.

This lot has been grown by husband and wife Jose and Diana Nolasco on their farm in the Cajamarca region of Peru. A selective harvest was carried out to ensure only fully ripe red cherries were used in the next stage. The cherries were then floated in a tank to eliminate any under-ripes and ensure no defects made it through. The cherries were then placed in sealed polypropylene tanks and a one way valve was fitted to eliminate any remaining oxygen. The cherries were then left to ferment for a period of 90 hours, then dried as a natural on raised african beds that Zest has donated for the 2019 harvest.
