Colombia | April

This is our second lot coming in from Finca Milan in Colombia. Just like Caturra Nitro, this coffee was processed using advanced fermentation techniques. This technique is called culturing, in which starter cultures from fruits, aromatic plants and microorganisms are being used.

In this case the fruits being used are peach and melon, which will obviously show in the cup. However these notes are not overwhelming and blend in well with the actual coffee taste. The producer Julio Andres Quiceno decided to call this lot April, because APR are the first letters of the microorganisms being used and additionally he developed this processing method in the month of April

After fermentation and removing of the mucilage, the coffee beans undergo a meticulous drying process. They are first sun-dried for twenty days, soaking up the natural essence of the sun. This is followed by a five-day mechanical drying period to fine-tune the moisture content. This combination of drying methods preserves the beans’ delicate flavors and aromas.
