Colombia Caldas Natural Process

TIP: You can save products to your favorites list if you log in Colombia continues to dazzle in the coffee world. Normally we might call this exceptional offering a "community coffee" as the cherries come from smallholder producers sprinkled between the
Caldas department municipalities of Chinchina, Villamaria and Manizales. The community wet mill guarantees a fixed price for cherries, making for a truly sustainable model.
The "alchemical wizard" Juan Felipe Aristizabal works his magic in the processing next, subjecting the cleaned and density-selected cherries to a maceration in a sealed tank. After 24 hours "fermenting in their own juices" to start the nuanced flavor development, the cherries are moved to raised, indoor African beds with solar dryers and turned 4-6 times daily to ensure even and proper drying.
This is an especially fruit-forward and dense coffee with tropical flavors and depth rivaling our East African naturals from Ethiopia and Uganda. Pourovers have a range of strawberry to wild blueberry, plantain, caramel and citrus. Light roast!
