About

 

This coffee was grown by Arturo Arango at the farm El Paraiso. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand- sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.


This microlot is 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.

 

Arturo Arango is a young coffee farmer who has been producing coffees since 2015. He bought El Paraiso a 25 hectares farm located at 1300 m.a.s.l. in Barcelona, Quindío. When he bought the farm, most of the coffee trees were more than 25 years old so he started to renew every tree and planted Costa Rica and Java varieties. Besides coffee, you can find other crops such as yucca and lemon. Arturo studied Business Administration and had the opportunity to do his master’s degree in agroindustries in Argentina. During his time away from Colombia, Arturo was captivated by the Specialty Coffee scene. Upon his return to Colombia, he decided to get involved in coffee as he saw an amazing opportunity to be a part of this movement. His focus was on applying the correct agricultural practices on his farm to produce the highest quality coffees he could. Arturo takes great care to remove all the weeds around the base of his coffee trees and disease prevention.


The first few years on his farm were spent renewing the trees and improving the practices. After three years, the new trees started bearing fruit and the results were excellent, encouraging Arturo to continue along his path of revitalizing the farm.
