We’re proud to have worked with coffees from Luis Alberto Jojoa for four harvests now. We love the creamy, yoghurt-like character of his coffees, which he achieves through expert fermentation.

Luis Alberto has perfected a processing style of his own: he de-pulps 50% of the cherries and places them in the water fermentation tank. After 24 hours, he adds the remaining 50% of freshly de-pulped cherries. He then removes the entire lot after 48 hours.

In short, this means that coffee beans within the same microlot have different fermentation times, resulting in a coffee with layers of flavour and complexity. This technique helped him to win the prestigious Cup of Excellence Award in 2009, an achievement which helped him to really kick start his career and the reputation of his farm, Finca la Perla del Otún.

Specifically for this season’s lot, we wondered if there was a way to elevate the coffee even more, to highlight what makes it unique, as well as its cleanliness. In communication with our exporting partner Azahar, we agreed on adding an additional round of hand sorting to the production process, and we believe this is a contributing factor to what makes this the tastiest this lot has been to date.

Since 2021 Luis Alberto has participated in a new initiative called Manos al Grano. The project’s aim is to create a regulated and normalised system of paying coffee pickers in a legal and ethical manner. It includes health coverage, transparent wages and training. This is an important step because coffee picking is often itinerant, unreliable, and poorly paid work. Coffee pickers have been particularly affected by work insecurity during the pandemic, and we see Manos al Grano as an important acknowledgement of their essential skills and labour.

CONCERNING THE WINE SECTION :

Understanding Our Wine Quality Process: We carefully select and taste each wine with Rocket Wine to ensure it meets our standards and matches the detailed descriptions on our webshop. However, we recognize that every palate is unique, and sometimes a wine may not align with your expectations.

If you suspect that your wine is corked or doesn't taste as it should, we're here to support you. We kindly ask that you bring the bottle to our, or Rocket Wine location. This allows us to taste the wine and accurately determine the issue, as this is the most effective method to assess these particular concerns.

We value your input and understand that taste can be subjective. While we strive to provide thorough information and taste profiles for each wine, personal preferences may vary. That's why we invite you to bring in any wine you feel is not up to standard. Please note that for a refund or exchange, the bottle should have more than 50cl remaining.

By following this process, we aim to ensure fairness and maintain the high-quality wine experience you expect from us. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this delicate matter.
