This lot was produced by Jose Ignacio Gomez Lopez at Finca El Paraiso in the highlands of Nariño, Colombia. Grown at 1,900 metres above sea level in the Vereda El Naranjal near Buesaco, this Caturra variety thrives in the region's cool climate and fertile volcanic soils.
Jose grew up in a coffee-producing family and now cultivates 6,5 hectares `of coffee alongside oranges, lemons, and avocados.
This anaerobic natural Caturra was selectively handpicked at peak ripeness. Before drying, the whole cherries undergo a sealed, oxygen-free fermentation that deepens fruit expression and complexity.
The lot is then dried inside a custom-built solar dryer, designed to harness the area's crosswinds for steady, even drying. Coffee is gradually moved through the dryer's levels over a period of 20 days, until reaching ideal moisture content. After drying, the lot is rested in parchment before export.
Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon, discovered in Brazil. The plant stays compact and offers a high yield while retaining many of Bourbon's qualities. At high altitude, Caturra develops bright acidity, refined sweetness, and layered fruity notes.
We found notes of cherry, hibiscus, and black tea. Expect a full-bodied cup with a complex sweetness, deep fruit tones, and a touch of bittersweet chocolate, offering a bold yet structured profile.

Deliverytime
At Blommers we follow coffee from the source to the cup. We work directly with farmers who know what they are doing and roast in a way that keeps the original flavour intact.
Alles wat we verkopen, van malers tot brewers, hebben we zelf getest. In onze ontwikkelruimte werken we dagelijks met de apparatuur, zodat het advies dat we geven is gebaseerd op ervaring en niet op een specificatieblad.
