Colombia Santa Monica

Coffee overview

A very bright and clean cup from producer Jairo Arcila. Jairo has been farming and producing in Quindio since 1987. This lot comes from his Santa Monica farm. A unique variety and process make this a standout cup. These Bourbon Choriso cherries were dry fermented (anaerobic) for 24 hours, then washed in a traditional fashion.

This is our first coffee with an 'ultralight' roast description. We recommend a resting period of 30 days after the listed roast date.
