Tasting Notes: caramel | dark chocolate | stone fruits

This coffee was grown by Sebastian Gomez at the farm La Divisa .
This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and
hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30
hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment
was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled
conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.
This microlot is 100% Castillo. This variety was developed by
Federación Nacional de Cafeteros. It is more productive than Caturra
and resistant to coffee leaf rust.
