Pablo Guerrero "Caturra"

This coffee was exposed to 42 hours of lactic fermentation. For lactic fermentation to take place, the cherries were placed inside plastic tanks for 42 hours at 22 degrees celcius. In this environment bacteria feeds from carbohydrates and sugars in the mucilage and this leads to a higher concentration of lactic acid.

The location

Coffee from Colombia

Colombia is one of the largest coffee producers in the world and benefits greatly from having one of the most unique and complex set of micro-climates of all coffee producing nations.

Farm processes

Washed process

Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
