Caturron produces notably larger beans than standard Caturra whilst retaining the variety's hallmark sweetness and balance, making it a favourite amongst Colombian producers focusing on specialty-grade lots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Semi-Washed process at Finca La Esmeralda involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eHandpicked ripe cherries\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cherries are selectively hand-picked at peak ripeness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eDepulping\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cherries are depulped shortly after harvest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🧪 \u003cstrong\u003eSemi-washed fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Beans are fermented with a portion of mucilage retained, producing a cup between the brightness of a washed and the sweetness of a honey process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eRaised-bed drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Parchment is slowly dried on raised beds with regular turning to ensure even moisture reduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a cup that expresses the terroir of Acevedo, Huila, Colombia with precision and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA distinctive, aromatic cup that steps away from Colombia's more familiar chocolate-and-citrus register.
