Villamaría / Colombia - Washed - Filter

In 2023 we were lucky enough to visit Finca La Aurora and see the project established to support producers earn a higher price for their crop. Neighbouring communities have the opportunity to deliver their coffee cherries to La Aurora daily, receiving approximately 10% more per kilo than the processed parchment price, ensuring a consistent and increased income throughout the harvest season.The cherries are floated to remove the defected ones and then hand sorted choosing only the ripest cherries. Once sorted the cherries are fermented for an average of 24 hours before being dried on raised beds.

This washed coffee has a nice balance of acetic and citric acidity with lots of sweetness - with notes of white white, blueberry, lime and florals similar to rose water. We recommend brewing as a v60 to really bring out the light floral and fruit notes.
