Perfumed aroma of watermelon and passion fruit. Sharp, sparkling acidity like green apple and pink grapefruit. As it cools, the cup softens into delicate notes of mild honey, crisp apple juice, and a lingering floral brightness.

Why This Coffee Stands Out
Typica is one of the oldest heirloom coffee varieties in the world, but it’s rarely found as a single-variety microlot today. Its low yields and extreme vulnerability to leaf rust (roya) led many producers to replace it with more resilient varieties. That’s what makes this coffee so special. Grown with care and processed as a fermented washed lot, it delivers a surprisingly expressive cup for a washed coffee—floral, delicate, and layered, with a clarity that highlights the variety’s subtle beauty.
How it was grown & processed
This Typica microlot was cultivated by Jefferson Motta on his Finca San Adolfo, nestled at 1,800 masl in Huila’s lush, high‑elevation terrain—a setting renowned for slow cherry maturation that develops clarity and complexity in every bean . Harvested at optimal ripeness (October 2024), the cherries retain a perfect balance of sugars and acidity .
Processing took place at Edwin Noreña’s cutting‑edge facility in Quindío (Campo Hermoso), where he’s widely recognized for his pioneering fermentation techniques. While technically a washed coffee, Edwin introduced a controlled fermentation phase pre‑wash. Drawing on techniques like carbonic maceration and mosto‑based fermentation—his signature methods that can include red‑wine yeast or fruit co‑ferments—it brings astonishing aromatic depth even in a clean-processed Typica . After fermentation, the beans were thoroughly washed and then sundried carefully on shaded beds to preserve their brightness and floral sweetness .
The result? A floral-forward, sparkling cup with notes of green apple, grapefruit, mild honey, and crisp apple juice—unusually expressive for a washed Typica, thanks to Jefferson’s cultivation at altitude and Edwin’s fermentation mastery .
