Complex and compelling acidity with both malic and citric notes showing in the form of green apple and navel orange. The body is fleshy, like a fresh plum and overall sweet and balanced. We originally cupped this coffee at 88.5 points
This isn't your average washed coffee processing technique. Rather than sending the clean and uniform Castillo cherries straight to raised beds to dry, it was fermented in cherry, in an anaerobic environment for 29 hours. After this anaerobic fermentation, the coffee is then pulped and fermented a second time in an aerobic environment for an additional 24 hours. Following this, the coffee is sent to dry on raised beds for 18 days.

This lot is part of La Palma y El Tucan's Neighbours and Crops program. This program empowers nearby farms in the department of Cundinamarca, incentivizing them to work and grow with La Palma y El Tucan. Together, they're doing some amazing things. For example, for every pound of coffee cherries sold to LPET, the farmers receive equal volume in premium organic composts. The farms are paid premiums well above the set price for coffee in Colombia and work in a symbiotic relationship with LPET.
