Tanzania Finagro Ascona Anaerobic Maceration
This exciting selection comes from Finagro Ascona Estate, owned by the Vohora family. It's processed in a relatively new and increasingly popular method called Anaerobic Maceration.

Look for notes of honeydew and tropical fruit mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg.
