Description
Purple Caturra – Kumquat Co-Ferment Washed | Finca Monteblanco (Colombia)
Harvested from the high-altitude slopes of Huila, this Purple Caturra microlot is fermented with a kumquat-infused culture, yielding playful notes of kumquat zest, candy-like sweetness, and vibrant fruit tart. Through a methodical fruit-culture fermentation and meticulous drying, this coffee elegantly balances experimental technique with the farm’s rich heritage—inviting a cup that’s inventive, clear, and delightfully expressive.
Tasting Notes: Kumquat, Lucky Candy, Fruit Tart

What is the roast recency?
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
