Expresiones Castillo
$24
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.
