Background Information:
This delightful microlot was grown by the talented Luz Helena Salazar at her farm, La Leona, located in the picturesque region of Armenia, Quindio. A true example of meticulous care and dedication, this coffee is harvested with strict ripeness criteria to ensure only the best cherries make it into the final product. Every cherry is floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects, ensuring that only the finest beans are selected.
After harvesting, the cherries undergo a fascinating 30-hour underwater fermentation process, which enhances the flavour profile and clarity. Once pulped, the parchment is carefully washed and dried under controlled conditions to ensure the ideal moisture content is achieved. These careful processing methods bring out the vibrant, fruit-forward characteristics of the Caturra variety, delivering a coffee that is as complex as it is delicious.
The Caturra variety itself is a natural mutation of the Red Bourbon, originally discovered in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Known for its higher yield and resistance to plant diseases, Caturra is a popular choice for Colombian farmers, and Luz Helena’s farm is a perfect example of its potential. With its clean, bright acidity and smooth body, this coffee delivers a truly enjoyable espresso experience.
Luz Helena - Caturra is a perfect choice for anyone seeking a balanced espresso with a distinct fruitiness and sweetness, and it’s a coffee that we’re proud to share with you. Don’t miss out on this unique and flavourful offering from one of Colombia’s finest producers!
