Varietals: Red Caturra, Colombia, Castillo, and Typica

Red Caturra, Colombia, Castillo and Typica

These varieties thrive in mountainous regions with tropical climates, where the combination of altitude, temperature, and soil allows for the development of coffees with great balance and complexity. They are recognized for their natural sweetness and vibrant acidity, which provides freshness without being overpowering, resulting in elegant and harmonious cups. Their sensory profile ranges from fruity and floral notes to chocolatey and spicy nuances, offering a versatile and refined experience.

Altitude: 1,700–2,000 masl

On its slopes, at altitudes of around 1,700–2,000 meters, coffee slowly ripens, allowing the sugars to develop with precision. Regular rainfall and a mild climate create a stable environment, ideal for balanced coffees with great clarity.

Process: Natural

Natural Fermentation Process

The Natural process is one of the oldest and most traditional. It involves drying the coffee cherries with the pulp intact. During drying, the pulp ferments, intensifying the flavors and sweetness that transfer to the bean.

Once the cherries reach 11-12% moisture, the dried pulp is removed. This process yields coffees with complex profiles, fruity notes, and great sweetness, varying with climate and altitude. Furthermore, it offers a robust body and a rich mouthfeel, preserving oils and sugars.

Roast: Omni

Roast profile for espresso and filter

This profile balances sweetness and acidity by transforming the natural sugars of the bean into deeper, sweeter notes, highlighting a caramel profile.
