Los Patios Solsticio - Colombia
We recommend this coffee if you brew it with a filter, a French press or other soft brewing methods, and if you're looking for a surprising profile.
A wonderfully complex coffee, just the way we like it: the first kick is its freshness and herbaceous notes reminiscent of mint, followed by a burst of fruity sweetness or should we say jam. If you like original coffees that you can enjoy every day, don't miss out on this treat.
Located in Gigante, Huila, Los Patios is a coffee processing and research centre, tackling issues such as inconsistent processing and limited infrastructure for local producers. As the centre specialises in innovative coffee fermentation techniques, this batch was processed using an unusual method: the cherries are first fermented for 12 hours before being de-pulped. Coffee cherry ‘juice’ is then added to the green coffee for 5 hours of aerobic fermentation, before being sealed for 12 hours of anaerobic fermentation. The coffee is then dried in a greenhouse for 12 to 16 days until it reaches target moisture. The result is impressive, bringing out the best in the Castillo variety.
