about Néctar

Micro-lots worthy of the gods. Our Néctar line is a showcase of impressive quality and distinct
flavor profiles. These highlight our region’s terroir in an assortment of tropical, floral, citric, and
sugary notes that have become the essence and signature of our Sabio Lab.

Sabio lab Cupping Profile
Crisp acidity and juicy body with notes of cacao nibs, lime, jasmine honeysuckle, almonds, pecans, and malt.

Sabio lab processing details
Right after picking, ripe cherries are floated, depulped dry and closed into airtight tanks to ferment for 60 hours. During fermentation, we closely monitor pH levels, mass temperature and brix level. After, the cherries are dried on raised beds for 22 days and reposed for 11 weeks before hulling. Dry parchment and green coffee beans are stored in Ecotact bags to preserve their attributes.
