Flavor Notes: Dried Thyme, Candied Lemon, Chocolate
After buying a plot of land in the picturesque town of Chinacla outside of Marcala, Oscar began conventional production and enjoyed a couple of years of very good harvests. It was then he decided to transition to organic production at the urging of community members. The transition had a severe effect on production, and the fate of Oscar’s farm was in question. A random piece of litter with a picture of a man on a bicycle and the decision to make much needed changes to his practices prompted the new moniker for Oscar’s farm - Cual Bicicleta. Oscar’s now organic production has recovered and he is now actively involved with his community. This is the second fair trade, organic micro-lot that The Coffee Exchange has had the honor to serve that comes from Oscar’s farm, and hopefully not the last.
