About This Specialty Coffee

Nestled in the mountains of Circasia, Quindío, Finca Campo Hermoso is renowned for pushing the boundaries of coffee innovation while preserving elegance and balance in every cup. Led by Edwin Noreña, the farm has become internationally recognized for its precision fermentation techniques and exceptional specialty coffee craftsmanship.

This carefully cultivated Caturra lot is harvested only at peak ripeness, with cherries reaching 23° Brix or higher to ensure optimal sweetness and flavor concentration. After a brief water soak, the cherries undergo a controlled fermentation process that enhances aromatic complexity and fruit expression.

The coffee is then depulped while retaining 100% of its mucilage, before entering a second anaerobic honey hydro-fermentation stage. During this process, dehydrated watermelon is introduced, naturally intensifying the coffee’s sweetness and infusing the cup with a vibrant tropical character and playful complexity.

In the cup, expect a bright and juicy profile, led by refreshing watermelon sweetness and vibrant nectarine-like fruitiness. A nostalgic bubble gum sweetness adds playful character, creating a unique and expressive cup that feels lively yet refined.

The mouthfeel is silky and honey-smooth, supported by a medium body and balanced sweetness. The finish is clean, lingering, and delicately fruity, leaving behind soft tropical notes and a refined sweetness that stays pleasantly on the palate.

☕ A playful yet refined co-ferment — juicy, tropical, and irresistibly expressive, crafted with Campo
