Laurina naturally has significantly lower caffeine than most other varieties with about half the caffeine as an Arabica (around 0.6% to Arabica’s 1.2%). La Escondida is also home to the Mierisch family “varietal garden” new varieties are tested before planting it on one of the farms. La Escondida also uses irrigation, due to its proximity to a river. This helps to accelerate the flowering stage, hence accelerating the harvest. This lot was processed as a natural after undergoing anaerobic fermentation.
