The Process:
Natural (or sundried) processing is the most traditional processing method for coffee! In Natural processing the whole cherry is left on the coffee and is placed on flat raised beds or patios to fully dry out (think turning the coffee cherries into little coffee raisins!). While natural processing can take longer than some other processing methods it can be a more accessible processing method for smaller producers while still having those complex fruity notes that the Little Bear team loves.

About Producer:
Finca Los Alpes represents the journey of a family. First established in the 1890s, Luis Alonsos great grandfather expanded the farm in the 1930s. Like the mountains after which it was named, Los Alpes is rich in natural resources and historical significance. The farm is located on land that was once settled by the Lenca tribe and natural springs can be found throughout the luscious mountains on which the farm is perched. Los Alpes is the first Cup of Excellence winner from the Cacahuatique mountain range located in the northeast of El Salvador . This win demonstrates that other, lesser-known regions also produce excellent coffee, a fact that makes owner Luis Alonso extremely proud.
