This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Santa Mónica. You may recognise the name as we've secured a number of his lots over the years. Most recently was the Sudan Rume which was an absolute coffee experience. This new lot from Jairo was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation period of 72 hours with the pulp on. During this fermentation stage, strawberry and wine yeast were added. The cherries were then pulped and placed to dry on raised beds with ripe strawberries placed amongst the coffee until the ideal moisture content was achieved. This microlot is also 100% Castillo variety. This variety was developed by Federación Nacional de Cafeteros to find an alternate variety to the widely used Caturra. Castillo proves to be more productive and resists coffee leaf rust. The results are an outstanding cup with perfumed strawberry notes. Molasses and nougat balance the fruit forward sweetness while notes of cacao and roses linger in the aftertaste.
