Verde – Colombia (Castellon Farm)

Castillo | Anaerobic Honey Process | 1,450 m.a.s.l.

🌿 Origin & Producer

Grown on the lush Castellon Farm, located in Armenia, Quindío, Colombia, this coffee comes from a region celebrated for its rich biodiversity and fertile volcanic soil. The farm spans 7 hectares and sits at an altitude of 1,450 meters above sea level, nestled within a broader elevation range of 1,200–1,700 meters.

Owner Carlos Arcilla comes from a long line of Colombian coffee growers. After acquiring the farm 32 years ago, he revitalized its natural springs and transformed the land by planting native trees and vibrant flowering plants like heliconia and romelia. Today, the farm is not only a coffee haven but a model of ecological beauty and sustainability.

🔬 Processing Method – Anaerobic Honey

This lot was carefully processed using the anaerobic honey method:

• Fermentation: The cherries undergo a 72-hour fermentation in sealed, oxygen-free tanks while retaining their mucilage (the sticky outer layer).

• Drying: Post-fermentation, the beans are slowly dried on raised beds, enhancing sweetness and preserving delicate acidity.

This meticulous process develops a vibrant and balanced cup with layered fruit tones and a syrupy texture.
