Altitude: 1730 masl

Varietals:

Bourbon

• Bourbon is a natural mutation of Typica. Its beans are rounder, offering a smooth mouthfeel with excellent sweetness and balanced acidity. Its clean and delicate profile often showcases bright fruit acidity and a silky texture.

Caturra

• Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon. It features shorter trees and higher yields, and is widely cultivated in Colombia. In terms of flavor, it continues the sweet and balanced characteristics of Bourbon while exhibiting more defined fruit notes and higher clarity.

The combination of these two results in a batch that possesses both well-structured acidity and rich sweetness, creating an even more layered flavor profile.

Process: Anaerobic Washed (Lactic Acid Fermentation)

This batch undergoes fermentation in an anaerobic environment, with temperature and time controlled in a sealed space to allow lactic acid bacteria to dominate the process. After fermentation, it is washed to preserve a clean and transparent structure while enhancing the fruit characteristics.

Anaerobic lactic fermentation elevates tropical fruit aromas and sweetness while bestowing a smoother texture upon the palate. In this batch, the pineapple and tropical fruit flavors are more concentrated and vivid, while peach and lychee aromas unfold in layers. The mouthfeel is full and juicy, with crisp, tension-filled acidity, showcasing the refined results of the precise fermentation techniques used at Finca Monteblanco.
