In the cup we taste juicy red berries like raspberry and strawberry. This coffee has an intense sweetness like sugarcane and a bright grapefruit like acidity. This coffee has a silky body and a clean finish.

Jacinto processes his coffee by harvesting the ripest cherries and leaving them to dry ferment overnight in open tanks. Cherries are then de-pulped and placed in sealed barrels for 40 hours, after which the parchment is washed and dried on raised beds for up to 18 days, depending on the weather.

With over 15 years of experience now, Jacinto Lozada is a member of “Productores del Futuro”, with high hopes of turning his farm into his own agro-business. Finca El Paraiso is located in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia. The farm consists of 2 hectares of land sitting at an elevation of 1,780 m.a.s.l, and around 3,000 coffee trees in production of the Pink Bourbon and Caturra varieties.
