This coffee is from Finca Santa Monica in the Quindio region of Colombia, grown by third-generation coffee grower Jairo Arcila. The beans are Castillo variety and processed using wine yeast fermentation, an innovative processing method. This results in a distinctly fruity cup profile with prominent notes of lychee, gummy bears, pineapple, Chardonnay, jasmine pearls, and honey crisp apple.
