INTRO
Fruit Orchard comes from Jairo Arcila at Finca Santa Mónica. It's like a bowl of fruit punch at a party—strawberry sweetness, yuzu freshness, melon refreshment, and all-around juicy. This is a filter for those who love fruity coffee without question. A delicious cup that's drinkable all day long, any moment and any occasion.
THE PRODUCER
Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee producer operating Finca Santa Mónica in Colombia. He manages six farms spanning different altitudes and microclimates, allowing him to cultivate various coffee varieties and experiment with processing methods. Jairo has become known for his innovative fermentation techniques and co-fermentation experiments.
THE PROCESS
This Caturra lot undergoes natural processing:
- 🍒 Selective Harvesting — Peak-ripeness cherries only
- ☀️ Natural Drying — Whole cherries dried with seed inside fruit
- 🔄 Regular Turning — Ensuring even drying
- ✨ Quality Control — Careful monitoring throughout
Natural processing allows the fruit sugars to develop intense sweetness and fruit-forward character as cherries dry slowly.
THE CUP
Strawberry sweetness, yuzu freshness, melon refreshment—just all-around juicy.

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.
