This is the second year of producing the newly developed and extremely rare Marshell variety that Marcelino planted in 2018 on his farm. This lot is processed as natural and after picking is hand sorted, floated and left to rest for 16 hours before laid out to dry on raised beds in the solar drier for around 20 to 30 days. Marshell was created from a triple cross between Rume Sudan with Sarchimore, whose offspring was then crossed with Villa Sarchi. Its complex genetic diversity created a rust resistant variety with a very good cup quality, plus adding the big increment in its productivity. Interesting fact – last year we purchased this same lot under the name of Ethiosar variety, but under lab investigation by the World of Coffee Research – they have established that it actually wasn’t exactly Ethiosar and Marcelino had to change it’s name to Marshell. This is a rare coffee, processed extremely well and it delivers stunning clarity and complexity in the cup.
