Think pineapple, raspberry, watermelon, and lychee — simultaneously, effortlessly, and with a lightness that makes it impossible not to smile. In the cup: a handful of white, red, and green Haribo gummy bears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJulio Cesar Madrid is the director of Finca La Riviera and Finca Milan — two farms first cultivated by his ancestors over forty years ago in La Estrella, Risaralda. Together with his business partner and processing specialist Andres Julio Quinceno, Julio has made it his life's work to produce exceptional coffees through innovative and exacting post-harvest techniques. The partnership between producer and process guru is the engine behind this lot — Julio's meticulous cultivation providing the raw material, Quinceno's fermentation expertise shaping what it becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE COMPONENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee is a blend of three distinct Caturra lots from Finca La Riviera, each a co-ferment experiment developed by Quinceno:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eNG\u003c\/strong\u003e — A passion fruit co-ferment 🍑 \u003cstrong\u003eLogan\u003c\/strong\u003e — A stone fruit co-ferment 💧 \u003cstrong\u003eNitro Caturra\u003c\/strong\u003e — A watermelon co-ferment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring each fermentation, Quinceno adds fresh fruit, dried fruit, and natural fruit hydrosols to the coffee cherries, allowing the fruit compounds to interact with the beans throughout the fermentation period and imprint their character directly into the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Co-Ferment process at Finca La Riviera involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Caturra cherries selectively harvested at peak ripeness 🍓 Fruit addition — Fresh fruit, dried fruit, and natural fruit hydrosols added to the cherries at the start of fermentation 🔒 Controlled fermentation — Coffee fermented in a managed environment, allowing fruit compounds to be absorbed into the beans 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed after fermentation to remove residue ☀️ Drying — Dried to optimal moisture content\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe co-fermentation is the defining step — by introducing specific fruits and their hydrosols during fermentation rather than after, Quinceno allows the flavour compounds to integrate deeply and organically into the bean, producing a layered, multidimensional tropical character that feels cohesive rather than artificial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lighthearted, tropical, and brilliantly executed co-ferment blend from one of Risaralda's most creative producer partnerships — pineapple, raspberry, watermelon, and lychee all present at once, tempered into something more playful than intense.
