In the mountains of Socorro, Santander—where the history of the land is woven into the patient work of coffee growing—this Castillo variety takes shape. A coffee that carries the character of the comunero lands: steady, expressive, and closely tied to the craft of those who cultivate it.
This lot has been scored at 84.5 SCA points, placing it above the commercial standard and within the range of specialty coffee. The number reflects a careful process from farm to mill: rigorous selection of ripe cherries, precise washing, and controlled drying to preserve clarity in the cup.
The result is a balanced, generous profile. Aromas open with comforting notes of caramel and nuts, followed by a softness reminiscent of ripe apple. On the palate, it develops with a creamy, enveloping body, while a medium citric acidity brings freshness and structure.
The washed process and controlled mechanical drying ensure consistency from lot to lot. It is a method that protects the bean’s cleanliness and allows the origin to speak with definition.
This Castillo does not seek intensity for its own sake. Its strength lies in balance: present sweetness, defined body, and an acidity that supports the cup without overtaking it.
A coffee for those who find, in the first sip of the day, something beyond routine.
A moment of pause where mountain, human work, and time meet—quietly—within the cup.
