This coffee is a testament to the power of long-term relationships and the collaborative and experimental processes they can bring about.
The rehydrated natural process was born through a dedication to quality and innovation. Cherries are dried on the trees, and then soaked in water, before drying fully on well-ventilated raised beds for 25 days. The resulting coffee was surprisingly fruit-forward, with a transparent mouthfeel and abundant tropical and citrus notes. This process provided an opportunity for a low-ranked variety and unwanted coffee to have a second life, showcasing its true potential and quality.
It exemplifies the collaborative and experimental nature of Origin’s relationship with Carlos, highlighting how innovative approaches can unlock unique and exceptional flavours from unexpected sources.

Producer

Carlos Pola and his family have been in the coffee business for over a century, and we have proudly shared a direct trade relationship with them since 2014. When coffee rust disease devastated their farms in 2012, Carlos saw this as an opportunity to elevate their practices, and today, his farms are known for high-quality coffee and sustainable methods, including permaculture, reduced pesticide and fertiliser use, and the creation of a self-sufficient agricultural ecosystem. A true pioneer in the industry, he is widely recognised for his dedication to transparency and traceability, and an innovative vision and passion for experimentation.
