This coffee comes from Rodrigo Sánchez, a third-generation producer at Finca Monteblanco in Acevedo, Huila, Colombia, grown at 1730 meters altitude. It is a Purple Caturra varietal processed using extended fermentation with fully washed method. Cherries are selectively handpicked and undergo sealed fermentation with 10 cultured yeasts plus fresh passionfruit, cholupa and panela. After 8 days, the coffee is pulped and reintroduced to the ferment for another 180 hours, then dried slowly over 20-25 days. The result is described as striking, vibrant and layered, pushing fruit character to the edge while holding onto clarity.
