TASTING PROFILE
A true roaster’s favorite. This is an unusual gem from Colombian terroir, a whirlwind of sweetness fermented with such precision that it evokes confectionary treats. While the dominant aroma is sugary, the body reveals tropical fruit, reminiscent of yellow fruit syrup, a breeze of cotton candy from summertime fairs, or even a rich and creamy liqueur. Surprising, bright, unforgettable. This Caturra lot, inoculated and fermented in a dry anaerobic tank, leaves no one indifferent!
ORIGIN
A second‑generation owner of El Paraíso and co‑owner of the exporting company PROCAAL, José Gomez is a major figure in his region and an outstanding innovator.Among the exotic varieties he grows, including Geisha, Bourbon, Java and Castillo, we are fortunate this year to showcase his Caturra. This lot was processed using a dry anaerobic method. The cherries are placed in hermetically sealed stainless‑steel tanks without any added liquid. They are then inoculated with a microbiota isolated from ripe coffee cherries, triggering a 72‑hour alcoholic fermentation. The coffee is dried on raised beds for 28 days until reaching optimal moisture before export.
DRINKING
What can we say… As an espresso, this coffee is lively, sweet and incredibly expressive. With milk, it turns into a storm of yellow fruit. As a filter brew, it becomes a deep and complex fermentation bomb, giving baristas full freedom to showcase the remarkable work of the producers.All brewing methods are encouraged, and we recommend slightly finer grind sizes to highlight the juicy, syrupy side of these candied aromas, spanning from cotton candy to pineapple to dried cherry. There is no single ideal method, this coffee deserves a full tasting menu!
