THE PRODUCER
José Ignacio Gómez produces this coffee at Finca El Paraíso in Nariño, continuing a family coffee tradition passed down through generations. His work reflects a balance of family tradition, modern processing, and sustainable farming, with a focus on quality and innovation. José was one of the first to grow coffee in the Buesaco region.

Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon, first identified in Brazil in the early twentieth century, known for clean, sweet cups and compact trees.

THE PROCESS
This lot is a Natural, carefully fermented for 150 hours and then precisely dried. The page doesn't give further steps.

The long 150-hour fermentation is the defining step. It builds the complexity and syrupy sweetness while the precise drying keeps the cup clear.

THE CUP
Sweet and rich: sweet cherry leads, with dark chocolate and a syrupy mouthfeel, showing both complexity and clarity.
