Dominga Carrasco El Amanecer Washed
Toffee, Orange, Nutmeg
This coffee invites dreams of cooler weather, with citrusy top notes and hints of warming spice. We found aromas of toffee, white peach, and orange blossom. Flavors of orange, pecan, milk chocolate, and green tea sit atop toffee sweetness. The light body is lifted by yellow plum acidity before deepening into a finish of raisin and nutmeg.

Imported by our friends at Crop to Cup:
"Dominga Carrasco represents an older generation of growers still committed to learning from the next. She has specifically been instrumental in championing Caturra Amarillo—a fragile but rewarding variety that she preserves through careful, hands-on management, and that has influenced many of her neighbors to keep it in their fields as well.
"Dominga is a member of Finca El Morito, a new cooperative managed by third-generation coffee farmers with a focus on direct exportation and community support.
“Her husband, Amado Flores, is the uncle of David Flores—General Manager of Finca El Morito. Dominga’s role within the group reflects its founding ethos: resilience, transparency, and knowledge-sharing across generations. She processes her coffee on-farm and contributes to a collective effort grounded in individual autonomy.”
