This Direct Trade honey-process coffee is a light roast with notes of yellow apple, almond, and cocoa powder. Nueva Vida is truly a small-scale family operation. Aside from Asdrubal Leonidas Apolo, his daughter Mireya, and her husband Freddie, the family employs 3-4 pickers during harvest. Asdrubal provides them with a weekly wage rather than paying based on the weight of cherries picked.

All his coffee cherry is honey processed on raised and covered beds. The cherry is floated and then fermented in covered tanks for 70 hours. It is then depulped without water and taken straight to the raised beds where it is rotated during a two-week drying period. The lot is predominantly Sarchimor and Acauã.
