COLOMBIA GUAVA BANANA

NATURAL ANAEROBIC PROCESS

This Red & Yellow Caturra is one of the flagship coffees produced at El Vergel Estate in Fresno, Tolima. Surrounded by guava trees, this coffee profile has been one of the most intense and fruity coffees developed by the estate.

The journey of Guava Banana coffee begins with the careful selection of ripe Red and Yellow Caturra cherries, ensuring exceptional quality from the renowned El Vergel Estate, managed by Martha and her two sons Elías and Shady Bayter. The beans undergo a 48 to 60-hour anaerobic fermentation, which enhances their unique flavor profile. Initially dried in the sun on raised beds in a "Marquesina" until they reach 30% moisture, the beans then move to mechanical drying in circular dryers. This meticulous natural anaerobic process results in a rich and complex flavor profile.

Flavor profile: Winey, Hibiscus, Guava, Candied Lemon.
