Arboles Caturra

Árboles Caturra 30 Años Nano Lot Reserve

These Caturra trees that have grown in Caicedo at Finca Los Naranjos for more than 30 years, demonstrate that they are planted in a very suitable environment to express their quality potential in the cup. Delicate and complex characteristics in the cup, good grain filling (760 g/l) and very good formation of organic acids. With night temperatures dropping to 14°C, the plant has the opportunity to rest, breathe more slowly and become more resistant to oxidative stress.

This leads to a good production of organic acids, including malic acids that express rich notes of red apple, honey and peach among others. After a good harvesting process and a humid fermentation with a mixture of 5- day brewings, the delicate acidity is modulated and fragrances/aromas are defined. Finally, a careful drying process in a canopy with openings on the sides during the day results in this excellent cup of coffee.
