Description
Bernardo Sanchez produced this 100% Caturra lot on his farm in Ibague, Tolima.
Caturra is an Arabica cultivar discovered as a natural mutant of Bourbon in Brazil in the first decade of the 20th century. However, Caturra flourished in Central America where it was introduced decades later, and had good cup characteristics. Caturra is, for us, one of the best varieties for cup quality in Colombia.
Bernardo has been tinkering with selective cherry-picking and processing over the years, and attributes this to improved cup quality since his journey on the farm began in 2011.
Expect floral flavours like hibiscus and ruby red grapefruit in the cup.
