About the variety

A regional blend of Castillo, Caturra and Colombia, the varieties planted on most Colombian farms. Castillo and Colombia were bred by Cenicafé for resistance to coffee leaf rust; together they give a dependable, balanced cup in volume.

Where it grows

Processing

Washed: the cherries are depulped, fermented to loosen the mucilage, washed and dried. This gives clean, bright cups that show the variety and terroir clearly.

The lot was fermented only with its own microorganisms, with nothing added.
