Castillo is a Colombian variety developed by Cenicafé from a cross between Caturra and the Timor Hybrid. It's named for the researcher Jaime Castillo Zapata, a central figure in Colombian coffee research. In this lot, producer Juan David Puerta at Finca La Sirena uses a washed process with thermal action — controlled temperature changes during fermentation that guide the coffee's sensorial development and heighten aroma, acidity, and sweetness. The result is a structured, distinctive, and expressive cup.
Fruit, dark chocolate, and caramel. Citric acidity to orange. Creamy mouthfeel with a persistent finish of panela and dried fruits.
Pour-over recommended at 192°F. Weigh your beans. Take your time.
Producer: Juan David Puerta. Finca La Sirena, Calarcá, Quindío. Direct and fair trade. Zero pesticides. Regenerative farming.
