Produced by Jorge Mira at the El Jaragual farm in the Antiquia region of Colombia. This Castillo variety has huge strawberry sweetness and finishes clean with our roast profile. We picked this lot due to it’s rich, syrupy body that reminds us of caramel- that makes it perfect for a next level espresso or a juicy filter.
Cherries are harvested at a minimum of 90% ripeness before being floated to ensure the removal of green, overripe and dry cherries. Next, the cherries are left in sealed drums for 24 hours before being pulped and being sealed again for a further 24 hours.
After this, the coffee is washed at 45C and then fermented with yeast for 72 hours at temperatures below 25C, and finally washed again in 5C water to swiftly halt the fermentation process and lock in the desired flavour characteristics.
Finally, the coffee is dried for 76 hours at 40C.
