Kross Coffee Roasters
Chania, Greece
Los Pirineos farm is located on a stand-alone, cone-shaped volcano and enjoys a microclimate that is not replicable anywhere in the world. The farm is named after mountain slopes that geographically resemble those of the Pyrenees Mountains in Europe. It has a unique position between the towns of BerliÌn and Santiago, at the top of the Tecapa Volcano, in the Tecapa Chinameca. Los Pirineos Coffee farm has been in the Baraona Family from more than 120 years, since 1880. Gilberto Baraona was one of the most well-known faces in the coffee industry and a 15 times winner of Cup of Excellence in El Salvador. Gilbertoâs children, Diego and Fabiona, follow their fatherâs steps and their obsession with quality. They require far more precision and attention to detail than the average coffee farm and so must invest time and money in the people who manage the processing. Due to the training and support they offer even his temporary staff are consistent from year to year This is a coffee of the Bourbon cultivar grown at specific microlots inside the Los Pirineos farm in altitudes from 1400 â 1500 meters. The climate and growing conditions in this area is great despite the medium altitudes. The cold nights make the maturation slow and the flavor development really nice. This Bourbon is part of a project to develop different types of naturals. In this case it is produced as a natural dried carefully on raised beds for about 20 days. They manage the flavor development and drying times by building up layers.
