Frog Facts
- Macerated Natural — The whole cherries rest in a sealed, temperature-controlled ferment before drying — slower, deeper fruit and more complexity in the cup.
- Grown at 1500 to 1600 masl, where cherries ripen slowly and concentrate sugar.
- Original artwork, painted for this release — a share of every bag returns to the artist.
