Hailing from a coffee-growing tradition, Natalia Hernandez now operates Finca El Tigre with her brother, Daniel. While both produce beautiful coffees, and often have their lots combined, this particular lot is all Natalia; the processing approach is characteristically hers - hand-picked, ripe cherries are continuously added to open tanks to ferment for four days, after which they are washed and dried on sun-bed dryers for up to 21 days.
