Melon, white grape, papaya
The farm is named in honour of Carlos Mariaca, the oldest and most unconditionally awesome employee of Agricafe. He was there at the start of the specialty coffee trend and, together with Pedro, helped to build the wet mill in Caranavi. To show their gratitude for all his good work, the company decided to give him partnership of the farm.
The delicate sweetness of melon fills this cup alongside fresh white grape. A silky smooth body and a touch of tropical papaya on the finish makes for an elegant and moreish cup.
