Washed Caturra
We are overjoyed with our first coffee from David Armijos. This Peruvian caturra has geisha-like florals, along with a lovely apricot-vanilla candy flavor. We served this up to our first, and now it's available to everyone. Home roasters can grab green coffee here!
Producer David Armijos picks all the coffee with his family and hired seasonal help at their 3-hectare farm. They grow caturra, castillo, catuai, and geisha on their farm perched at 1800-1900 meters. After picking, they washed the cherries in fresh water before depulping and a brief overnight fermentation. Then they rinsed the coffee and dried it on beds for "skin drying". Afterward, the coffee dried fully on patios for 7-10 days.
