Picolot #11: Lore-ina - Esmeralda El Velo Laurina 3 BANC Natural

Pineapple, Vanilla, Blackberry, Jasmine, Floral

The Lore: 

Jiyoon bought this coffee because she was wowed by the Laurina she cupped at BOP 2025. She hadn't tasted many Laurinas before let alone from Hacienda La Esmeralda and was astonished by the quality. When Rachel from Hacienda La Esmeralda said she had some available Jiyoon was ecstatic because she was able to get this coffee from the same plot the BOP V-01 winner came from! 

We're really happy to be featuring this coffee for you all to taste. Extremely limited quantities available.

Additional Details:

Laurina 3 BANC was harvested from the Laurina lot at Hacienda La Esmeralda’s El Velo farm on February 7th, 2025. After harvest, the coffee cherries were pre-dried for 3 days outside on raised beds and then fermented for 5 days in a stainless steel anaerobic tank in our cold fermentation room. Finally, the drying phase was completed in our climate - controlled drying room for 44 days. An indoor facility with constant airflow and precise temperature and humidity control.
