Red Plum. Café de Colombia

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Granja Paraiso 92, a family farm in Cauca, Colombia at 1700-1900 meters altitude. It undergoes a unique double anaerobic lactic fermentation with thermal shock washing, a signature process developed by Wilton Benítez. The coffee is the Colombia varietal and presents tasting notes of red plum, caramel, and spice. The slow maturation due to the high altitude and Pacific wind influences contributes to sugar development for fermentation.
