by Hidardo Hernández from CAFESMO
Cascaritas Natural is an Arabica coffee of the Parainema variety. The coffee was cultivated by Hidardo Hernández and his family at Finca Cascaritas in the mountains of southern Honduras.
The coffee was processed using the Anaerobic Natural method. Through controlled fermentation of the whole coffee fruit, Hidardo was able to create a very pleasant flavor profile that combines citrus notes from washed coffees with the full body and sweetness of naturals.
We recommend the coffee for filter preparations such as Hario V60.

With the Cascaritas Natural, Hidardo Hernández has created a coffee that combines the sweetness of a natural with a light note of ripe citrus fruits, creating a very pleasant and special coffee.
For the Natural Anaerobic processing, the coffee cherries are picked ripe from the coffee trees and then fermented in barrels for 72 hours.
After fermentation, the coffee cherries are dried for 21 days on raised African drying beds. Afterwards, the pulp is removed, and the coffee beans are processed for transportation.
The coffee is grown using sustainable and ecological methods.

Preparation of 24g coffee beans, ground with a setting of 17 clicks on the Timemore C3S Pro (equivalent to ~ 630 μm) with 400 ml water at a temperature of 93°C. Results in a balanced acidity with a strong and lingering sweetness that is reminiscent of ripe cherries. Avoid astringency by adjusting the grind size coarser.
Hint: This coffee likes a fast flow rate.
