Tasting Notes: Lychee, Elderflower, Floral Origin: Colombia, Cauca Farm/Co-op: El SenderoProcess: Semi-WashedElevation: 1750mVarietal: CaturraSourced By: Unblended   From our importer: Andrés achieves this cup profile by fermenting the whole cherries for 48 hours, then depulping and fermenting them again for another 24 hours. The coffee is then carefully dried to preserve all its natural sweetness. He began his career at Tecnicafé, an institute in Cauca dedicated to coffee research and innovation, where he worked for a year. Later, he joined Finca El Paraíso, a farm recognized in the specialty coffee industry, where he worked with Diego Samuel Bermúdez, a well-known coffee grower. At this farm, Andrés was in charge of soil studies and process standardization. Recently, Andrés left his position at El Paraiso to focus on his own coffee project. He now owns two farms, both in Cauca: one, where he grows varieties such as Geisha, Chiroso, and Papayo, and another with Bourbon Rosado, Geisha,
