About This Coffee

Arturo Arango is a young coffee farmer who has been producing coffees since 2015. He owns El Paraiso a 25 hectares farm located at 1300 m.a.s.l. in Barcelona, Quindío. This stunning microlot was harvested from Sidra varietal trees and processed using a unique and complex thermal shock method. Upon arrival, cherries are floated in water tanks to remove lightweight beans and debris. The water is reused for multiple batches, then filtered through specialised tanks before being irrigated onto vetiver grass beds. This natural filtration purifies the water and releases oxygen. The cherry is hand-sorted to remove any underripe, overripe, or defective ones, ensuring only premium cherries proceed. This lot uses a 30 hour wet fermentation method in tanks before being pulped, washed and dried on raised beds. They do this controlled fermentation process as it allows the sugars, organic acids, and other compounds within the cherries to break down gradually, stimulating the development of a complex profile. This is a stunning high cup score microlot scoring 87 points. Tasting notes are complex and include apricot, papaya and white grape
