ABOUT

This coffee was grown by Santiago Patiño at the farm El Ocaso. This
coffee was carefully hand-picked to select only the ripest
cherries. The cherries were then fermented for 40 hours in an
anaerobic environment. Afterwards, the coffee was sundried until the ideal
moisture content was achieved.
This microlot is 100% Caturron. This varietal is a rare mutation of
Caturra was found for the first time in Acevedo, Huila. Growers started
planting Caturron due to its resistance to leaf rust and high yield. However, it wasn't until 2016 that Cofinet, with the help of some region growers, identified this varietal's exotic cup profile.
