A balanced, clean, and sweet washed Caturra of quiet charm and gentle complexity. In the cup: lemon meringue sweetness, jammy stone fruits, and a delicate floral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFelipe Estela is a second-generation coffee producer and one of the founding members of El Morito — a coffee cooperative of family farms spread across the North Cajamarca region. El Morito began as a multigenerational family project before being formalised as an association in 2022. David Flores, Felipe's nephew, serves as the cooperative's current General Manager; Felipe himself manages El Morito's storage warehouses and is known throughout the organisation for his reliability, vision, and the consistency of what he produces at El Robele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2,000–2,100 MASL in North Cajamarca, El Robele sits at an altitude where cool temperatures and slow cherry maturation build the clean sweetness and structured clarity that define this lot. Caturra — a natural Bourbon mutation first identified in Brazil — has been grown in Peru's highland regions for decades, and in Felipe's hands at elevation it delivers exactly the kind of balanced, transparent, and sweetly expressive profile that makes it such a rewarding variety to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process at El Robele involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Ripe Caturra cherries selectively harvested at El Robele 🔍 Sorting — Cherries sorted after picking to ensure only the finest proceed 🔧 Depulping — Outer skin removed before fermentation 🧪 Fermentation — Beans fermented to break down remaining mucilage 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed to remove all fermentation residue ☀️ Drying — Dried to optimal moisture content\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional washed processing is the defining step — by removing all fruit influence and fermenting cleanly, Felipe allows the inherent sweetness and lemon-tinged brightness of the Caturra and the cool Cajamarca terroir to express themselves with the transparency and balance that define this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA balanced, clean, and sweetly charming washed Caturra from one of North Cajamarca's most trusted and community-rooted producers — lemon meringue sweetness, jammy stone fruit depth, citrus brightness, and a delicate floral finish in a round, approachable cup that rewards every sip.
