This coffee is a single-origin Castillo variety from the Cata Reserva farm, located in the Bruselas region of Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 2000 meters. It is processed using a semi-washed method, which includes selective hand harvesting, 24 hours of controlled oxidation after pulping, and full solar drying on raised beds. This process is designed to enhance aromatic complexity and cup clarity while maintaining balance.
Based in Zürich, AILA was founded with the mission to build a complete coffee culture rather than just a roastery. They are deeply committed to direct trade, fostering strong relationships with their producers to ensure quality and fairness. Their roasting approach is designed to tell the story of the beans and the people behind them.
