INTRO Crème Brûlée is an advanced natural Caturra Chiroso from the El Encanto family in Pitalito, Huila — silky, indulgent, and beautifully balanced. Rich hot chocolate leads into creamy vanilla malt and soft nougat, with a gentle cherry note rounding out the finish. In the cup: hot chocolate, vanilla malt, nougat, and cherry.
THE PRODUCER This lot comes from the El Encanto Family Project in Pitalito, Huila, brought in by exporting partner Cata Export.
THE PROCESS This lot moves through an advanced natural process: extended oxidation, anaerobic fermentation, fruit-pulp yeast inoculation, thermal shock, and a slow, stabilised dry — each stage building sweetness, texture, and aromatic depth while keeping the cup clean and balanced.
The thermal shock stage combined with fruit-pulp yeast inoculation is the defining step — together they build the rich hot chocolate and vanilla malt sweetness that define this cup, without letting the fermentation tip into imbalance.
THE CUP Silky and indulgent — rich hot chocolate leads into creamy vanilla malt and soft nougat, with a gentle cherry note on the finish. Roasted omni, equally at home as a chocolatey espresso or a silky filter.
