About: 

Hacienda Sonora has been part of the specialty scene since its early days, always leading in innovation through its various processing methods and plant varietals. The farm has more than 20 varieties in production, “Villa Sarchi” being one of them. Besides having a nice and complex cup, Villa Sarchi is known for its high-quality cup profile, Villa Sarchí typically exhibits vibrant acidity, a full body, and complex flavor notes.

Nowadays, Sonora has more than 20 different varieties of plants in 80 hectares of coffee (+ 20 hectares of forest reserve) and is known to be a welcoming place for coffee lovers. Processing begins with the picking, where the coffee cherries are hand-picked and undergo floater separation. After 36 hours of fermentation, the cherries are dried with the fruit still intact, further enhancing their sweetness and fruity notes. They are then dried on a patio for nine days. After this initial drying, the beans rest for three days in a warehouse at 14% humidity. They are subsequently mechanically dried for better uniformity, ensuring temperatures do not exceed 35°C. Once the coffee reaches a humidity level of 10.5%, it rests in parchment for two months before being sorted by weight, screen size, density, and color.
