Single Varietal Microlot

This 100% Castillo microlot at Castellon farm, is harvested based on strict ripeness standards, floated, and hand-sorted to eliminate defects. The cherries undergo 30 hours of underwater fermentation, followed by pulping, washing, and drying in controlled conditions to achieve optimal moisture. Developed by Federación Nacional de Cafeteros, Castillo is more productive than Caturra and resistant to coffee leaf rust.
