About This Specialty Coffee

Nestled in the mountains of Circasia, Quindío, Finca Campo Hermoso has become a benchmark of innovation and precision in Colombian specialty coffee. Guided by the expertise of Edwin Noreña, the farm is internationally recognized for pioneering advanced fermentation techniques that elevate flavor complexity while preserving clarity and balance.

This exceptional Caturra lot is harvested only at peak ripeness, when cherries exceed 23° Brix, ensuring maximum sweetness and flavor concentration. Following harvest, the cherries undergo a carefully controlled fermentation process designed to enhance both fruit intensity and aromatic elegance.

After an initial water soak, the coffee enters a co-fermentation stage, where flavor development is guided slowly and precisely. Once depulped, with 100% of the mucilage retained, the beans undergo a second anaerobic honey hydro-fermentation, during which dehydrated lychee is introduced to naturally amplify sweetness and enrich the coffee’s tropical aromatic profile.

In the cup, expect a bright and refined experience, opening with juicy lychee sweetness and delicate rose florals, beautifully layered with the soft richness of peach marmalade. Elegant green tea notes provide balance and freshness, creating a profile that feels vibrant, silky, and beautifully structured.

The mouthfeel is smooth and honey-like, with a medium body and a clean, lingering finish that leaves gentle tea-like elegance and subtle fruity sweetness on the palate.
