Tasting notes: Dutch processed cocoa, walnut, burnt sugar
Country of origin: Nicaragua
Region: Dipilto, Nueva Segovia
Process: Washed
Roast level: Full City+ (Medium-Dark)
About the region: Monte Libano is a farm owned by the same family who runs a number of other farms in the region which we have sourced from in years prior. Monte Libano is milled at the Buenos Aires mill in Ocotal, where all of the farms are being processed for export. They're doing all sorts of processing experiments at Buenos Aires, and are outfitted with raised beds, covered and uncovered patios, color sorting machines, and newer dry milling equipment to catch defects and separate by bean size. This particular lot is wet processed consisting of overnight fermentation, "washing" with fresh water in long channels using wooden paddles to remove the remaining fruit from the seed. All of the 1st qualities are first dried on raised African beds for the first few days, and then finished on patios (6 - 8 days total).
