Coffee Description
This coffee was fermented in open tanks, allowing natural oxidation to take place while still in full cherry form. Next, the cherries are pulped to remove the outer fruit layer and the newly released seeds undergo a second fermentation. The seeds are then washed and laid out to dry in two stages: first on raised canopies designed by Benjamin, then onto patios to finish drying before moving to the dry mill.

Benjamin Lopez is no stranger to the D&W offering list. We have bought his coffee for 7 years in a row!

In 2013, Insomnia's owners Evan Aldrete and Tyler Geel launched Dapper & Wise as a tasting room and roasting facility in Portland's Western suburbs, and by 2014, as a wholesaler as well.
Based out of Hillsboro, Oregon, Evan and Tyler work with a stellar team, all of whom are dedicated to the values that undergird Dapper & Wise: “We want people to walk through our doors and feel welcome. We want people to taste our coffee and be impressed and inspired. We want the coffee we roast to exemplify the hard work of the producers that grow it.”
