 About Los Portillos

Adolfo Reyes Portillo\'s farm is nestled on the fertile volcanic slopes surrounding Lake Yojoa in the village of El Cielito and his careful husbandry and attention to detail allow a superior bean to flourish. Over the years he\'s been able to expand his farm and build a small wet mill on his property. He is thus able to process all his coffee to his specifications. We are pleased to offer this totally satisfying morning cup.

About Natural Misty Valley

The washed coffees of Yirgacheffe have long been prized for their delicate, tea-like aromatics and clean, citrus flavor. Recently, producers in the Gedio region have been reinventing the natural process (originally developed in Ethiopia) to offer a completely different profile. The Misty Valley is a prime example of the fruitiness, complexity, and character of these Natural Yirgacheffe coffees.

Developed by exporter and producer partner Abdullah Bagersh, the Natural Misty Valley is subject to an incredible amount of care from start to finish. When the ripe cherries are first brought to the mill to dry on raised beds, they are constantly turned (day and night!) for the first 48 hours of drying to ensure an even evaporation of the moisture from the cherry. This lends a consistency and cleanliness to the cup, which can prove difficult in a process prone to mold and uneven air circulation. After the coffee is fully dried and the skin, mucilage, and parchment removed, it is sorted and traded through the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange as a Grade 1 Yirgacheffe.
