This micro-lot coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Santa Mónica in Armenia, Quindio, Colombia at 1450-1500 meters altitude. The coffee is 100% Castillo variety and underwent a 72-hour dry anaerobic fermentation with lychee and wine yeast added to develop unusual flavor notes. The cherries were then pulped and dried on raised beds until ideal moisture content was achieved. This is part of the limited Freak & Unique XIV series, paired with the artwork "Hug" by Fleur Yearsley.
