{"product_id":"david-flores-washed-marshell","title":"David Flores Washed Marshell","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinca El Morito started out as two hectares of Caturra and Bourbon. Today it covers 50 hectares in El Diamante, in Cajamarca's San Jose de Lourdes District, and a good part of that growth comes from David Flores, who experienced specialty coffee first-hand in 2016 and was inspired to raise the quality of what his family grew. Since then the family has worked together to improve how the coffee is processed, planted higher-quality varieties and gone looking for international buyers, with David's father Faustino overseeing the work on the farm while David takes the green coffee out to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMarshell is what Khipu keeps coming back to from Finca El Morito. They first cupped it at the family's Jaén office in 2023, and this is now the third year they've worked with this coffee, which has become a go-to lot: a great example of the variety, versatile enough to make an incredible espresso and just as comfortable as a filter coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's a variety with a bit of mystery about it, too. Marshell is young and its ancestry is still debated, and it's often described as a mutation of Bourbon. The cup was so far beyond what a typical Catimor delivers that Khipu sent this Marshell for genetic testing at RD2 Vision, and the result pointed to a rare form of Catimor. Since a Marshell won the Cup of Excellence in 2019, the variety has been growing in importance across Peru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe processing is every bit as hands-on. Only ripe cherries make it past the float, then they ferment anaerobically in sealed plastic tubs for 36 hours, are pulped, and ferment again for 72 hours in tubs open to the air in the shade. Drying takes a patient 20 to 30 days in solar dryers, in purpose-built modules that stagger the drying phase at different heights, until the coffee reaches 11 to 11.5% moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Khipu","offers":[{"title":"0.5kg","offer_id":55695354626424,"sku":"DAVIDFLORES-MARSHELL-HALF","price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":55695354659192,"sku":"DAVIDFLORES-MARSHELL-1","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":55695354691960,"sku":"DAVIDFLORES-MARSHELL-5","price":92.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/3006\/7755\/files\/0-4_583d24f8-fd0e-4193-9a86-152e681682ba.jpg?v=1791542098","url":"https:\/\/greencoffeecollective.com\/products\/david-flores-washed-marshell","provider":"Green Coffee Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
