This bean is so tiny that we needed to design and built special machinery to process it, but we stil need to do many of the sorting by hand because no machine will work with this size. 

This Natural tiny bean was cleaned previously on water tanks and then dried on african beds.

Description:

Cupping Notes: The natural process provides this tiny giant with deeper characteristics. Apricot syrup type of sugar provides a delicate and elegant, yet balanced, clean and consistent profile. Buttery and creamy mouth-feel makes this coffee as desired as the traditional washed.

WARNING: This may be the most difficult bean to Roast! We will send how we have learned to roast it in an email soon. We are sending enough quantity this year for you to have at least 2 roast and nail it. It is such a great coffee when you get it right!
