The coffee cherry is then processed into some of finest quality Arabica coffee bean from this region of the world with altitudes between 4,500 and 5,500 feet above sea level.<\/p>\nThe Caf\u00e9 Medrano coffee bean flourishes, bringing out characteristics of creamy, sweet, citrus notes, as well as chocolatey and caramelized flavor. Adhering to organic farming processes, all chemical substances are eliminated to ensure the natural flavor profile is true to its origin.<\/p>\n
Caf\u00e9 Medrano also processes the coffee bean via a washed (or wet) process or Honey (semi-washed) process, as well as utilizing natural solar drying structural methods. This process allows for our coffee bean to dry in a natural state, above the ground and absorbing the all the natural aromas of the environment. Throughout the days over the next few weeks the cherries will be raked and turned over. Covering them at night and during rainy occasions is necessary for conversion from cherry to what is known as green coffee.<\/p>\n
Milling of the Green Coffee beans is done manually by grading and sorting the beans determining the quality of their size, weight, coloration, and other factors, before preparing for shipment to the Washington, DC metropolitan area for local roasting, packaging and distribution.[\/vc_column_text]\r\n\t
