ABOUT THE COFFEE

This coffee is a geisha variety, growing at 1960 mt above sea level, in the Cauca region, in southwest Colombia. The climate is very humid, with a high incidence of Pacific winds that provide tropical notes to our coffee fruits. These beautiful coffee beans have a very fruity profile, thanks to the climate conditions, the altitude, the terroir and the intense rains in the year allow the development of a brilliant profile. The process begins with the harvest of overripe grape point coffee cherries, which, due to their longer contact time with the coffee seeds, manage to impregnate more fruit flavours from the pulp. Then, the cherries are disinfected with ozone, to reduce the unwanted microbiological load in the process and pass to fermentation for 96 hours. After these hours of fermentation, coffee cherries are put in a dehumidifier to remove humidity. This helps to avoid over-oxidation and stop the metabolic processes to avoid overfermentation. In the final stage, the coffee is placed in a cool place to stabilize. Afterwards, coffee beans are selected and threshed according to the quality standards.
