About Cascaritas Espresso
Cascaritas Espresso is grown at an elevation of 1300 meters by Hidardo Hernández, who together with his mother Delmy runs the Finca Cascaritas. Located in the mountains of Ocotepeque, just along the border with El Salvador, the farm has an optimal environment for coffee cultivation.
The coffee used for Cascaritas Espresso is the Parainema variety of the Arabica plant, which produces a slightly sweet cup. Hidardo grows the coffee trees in the shade of American walnut and pine trees.
Once ripe, the coffee cherries are handpicked, their flesh carefully removed, and then processed. For this, the coffee is fermented in tanks to strip away the mucilage around the seeds. Subsequently, the coffee undergoes a thorough washing with fresh water before being dried on elevated African drying beds for a period of 12 days.
In his pursuit of excellence, Hidardo uses ecological and sustainable agricultural practices throughout the coffee production process.
Brewing recommendation for Cascaritas Espresso
Anabel recommends the following recipe for brewing Cascaritas Espresso with the espresso machine
Pull quick shots to get the most out of this espresso. A 23 second shot at a ratio of 19 g coffee grounds to 39 g espresso results in a tangy and creamy cup. Longer lasting shot times might result in an unbalanced acidity.
