The name "Jaguar" is given to the top grading beans of three, categorized and graded beans from over 100 small farmers.  The beans are dried for 6 to 8 hrs, parched at 55% moisture level, and sun-dried for 3 to 4 days.   Flavor of the beans greatly varies by the depth of roasting: medium adds highly citric flavor, high mix of citrus and honey, city fruity honey,  and full-city dark chocolaty and Colombian bitterness.
