Amparo Botina — Colombia Washed Caturra

In the cup we taste sweet clementines, delicate black tea, and fresh lemon. This coffee has a light body and a long citric finish.

About the producer

Amparo Moncayo Botina tends to all her coffee trees with equal and dedicated devotion. She's a farmer, wife, mother, and grandmother, carrying forward a family legacy rooted deeply in the land. Together with her husband, Edmundo Botina, she cultivates coffee on their farms, El Encinal and Los Arrayanes. The farms' hillsides are planted with Caturra, shaded and accompanied by rows of fique grown alongside the coffees. The unique microclimate contributes to the exceptional quality found in her lots.

Processing: Amparo carefully selects cherries at peak ripeness by hand. Once harvested, they are de-pulped, gently washed, and placed in tanks for a controlled fermentation lasting 18–24 hours. After fermentation, the beans are transferred to raised drying beds for approximately 15 days.
