Puerto Arturo, Colombia
This microlot is produced by Elkin Arcila at his 1.5 hectare farm, Puerto Arturo, located in the municipality of Támesis in western Antioquia. The farm sits at approximately 1950 metres above sea level overlooking the Cartama Valley, an area known for producing expressive high-altitude coffees.
For this lot, ripe cherries are carefully selected and sorted by size before undergoing a controlled anaerobic fermentation. The cherries are placed in sealed 55-gallon tanks where they ferment for approximately 100 hours. During this stage, Brix levels and pH are closely monitored to maintain consistency throughout the fermentation process. After fermentation, the cherries are pulped, lightly washed and then dried on raised African beds.
The result is a complex and aromatic coffee with notes of red berries such as raspberry and blackcurrant, complemented by floral jasmine aromas. The cup presents bright acidity, a light-medium body and a long lingering finish.
