Floral | Blood Orange | Sweet Aromatics

This herbaceous (audacious) delight is produced by Huver Castillo on the family run El Paseo farm in Nariño, Colombia. His innovative processing method results in a unique flavour profile with pronounced floral notes, a juicy blood orange acidity and a curious, aromatic sweetness...

Huver is a third-generation coffee grower, but his close relationship with coffee is recent. Until a few years ago (before 2015), he was a math teacher at a school in Nariño. The farm El Paseo is located near Buesaco, on the Suma Paz trail. This family farm is where Huver has had the opportunity to work alongside his father. El Paseo has been in the family for over 20 years and is one of three farms they own. It is a beautiful farm with an altitude range of 1750 meters to 1950 meters, featuring several native shade trees and situated on the slopes overlooking the valley of Buesaco.

The process of this coffee begins with the careful selection of ripe Caturra cherries, ensuring exceptional quality. The beans then undergo a 36-hour pre-fermentation in cherry, followed by a floating and disinfection process using sea salt. The beans are then subjected to anaerobic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with regulated relief valves. After moving to a second hopper and being pulped, leachates are collected and 200 litres are used per fermentation tank with the addition of specific enzymes to promote a distinct floral profile.
