Colombia San Vicente, Washed

This coffee is grown in the San Vicente municipality of Colombia, located just 10km from La Plata, Huila. The region is enriched with volcanic ash soils, providing fertile ground that is highly beneficial for coffee cultivation. This nutrient-rich soil, and careful management practices, supports the growth of premium coffee varieties such as castillo and caturra.  These cultivars are well-suited to the local conditions and significantly contribute to the distinctive taste profiles that make this coffee unique.

This coffee is grown by smallholder farmers, members of the OCCICAFE Cooperative, who are dedicated to producing high-quality seasonal coffee.

This is a washed process coffee which starts with the harvesting of ripe coffee cherries that are de-pulped and washed, removing all fruit pulp surrounding the coffee beans. The coffee is then placed on sun-beds to dry-out the coffee beans, until they reach the optimal moisture content of 11%. Washed coffees are known to have clean and balanced characteristics and higher acidity. 

This coffee is characterised by its fruit-forward profile, showcasing sweetness and body. The finish is clean and distinctly floral, enhanced by delightful hints of red stone fruits.
