SANTA MONICA, COLOMBIA

Notes of cherry and caramel, with a hint of nutmeg.

Origin: Armenia Quindio, Huila, Colombia
Varietal: Caturra 
Process: Washed

This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Santa Monica. Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee grower from Quindio, Colombia. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.

This microlot is 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.

In the cup, this coffee tastes like cherry and caramel, with a hint of nutmeg.

We roast every Wednesday and ship every Thursday.
