This year, the quality is as high as ever, and the cup is very clean and transparent. Crucero is produced from their three coffee farms based in Pereira, Risaralda. This lot is semi-washed, and Ana refers to the processing as ‘fed-batch’. This process yields an interesting and crazy fruity and clean cup, with just enough funk.“
