    About the coffee

    Mauricio and Liliana Shattah found Finca La Negrita after a five year search for the perfect coffee farm. In 2018 we bought our first lot from them, from the fragrance of the ground coffee alone, we knew this was the best coffee we'd ever tasted. La Negrita's coffee continues to win competitions every year, proving it is some of the best in the world.

    Last time we visited, they were growing 27 different varieties, many of them exotic, experimental or of unknown origin.


    In recent years Mauricio has moved away from washed production to focus on naturals and honeys, all of which are fermented anaerobically with a whole host of variables that can be changed to manipulate the cup profile, before drying in humidity-controlled darkness.

    For the processing of this Wush Wush:

    The cherries are washed in stainless steel tanks in a mild solution of sodium hypochlorite to remove any unwanted bacteria from the skin of the cherries. The cherries are also floated at this stage to remove any problematic cherries. The cherries are then hand sorted on a white surface to remove anything undesirable/ defective.

    This is a two-step process; in the first step the coffee is treated as a natural. It is fermented in cherry, in an anaerobic tank. After 48 hours, the tank is opened, and the cherries are de-pulped and then returned back to the tank for another 48 hours for the second black honey fermentation step. After both fermentation steps, the cherries are pre-dried and then air dried for 4-6 weeks in a UV-protected environment, using only natural infrared and high airflow on raised drying beds.

    During drying, all the coffees are hand sorted and moved twice a day. All Mauricio's coffees are made to order; no inventory is carried. Once dried, the coffees are then milled, and hand sorted again before being vacuum packed and then shipped.

    All of this meticulous processing results in an incredibly syrupy, sweet, juicy and slightly boozy coffee that is somehow still complex and elegant. This might be the best coffee you ever taste.
