A wonderful example of a delicious and clean washed Colombian coffee, we've sourced this particular coffee from Jairo Arcila for multiple years. Jairo hails from Quindio and Santa Monica is his own farm. A highly regarded third-generation coffee farmer, he is also the father of Cofinet's founders Carlos and Felipe Arcila, and husband of another of the area's most skilled coffee growers, Luz Helena Salazar.
About
Produced by Jairo Arcila, this coffee is harvested with strict criteria regarding ripeness of the cherries. They are floated and hand sorted to remove any defect cherries - this is an effective way to find any defects as they float while the good cherries sink.
Once sorted, the cherries are then fermented underwater for 30 hours, pulped, then gently washed and dried in temperature controlled conditions until the ideal moisture content is reached.
This microlot is 100% Caturra; this variety is originally from Minas Gerais in Brazil, and is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. The plants are grown in volcanic ash soil at 1450-1500 MASL in temperatures between 18-28c.
