Colombia, Encanto Maracaturra

Highlights

“Maracaturra is the cross between Maragogype, with its oversized beans, and the compact Caturra, developed in Nicaragua and rarely planted in Colombia. Felipe Arcila brought it to Jardines del Encanto in Quindío, where this lot grows at 1,850 m and is processed as a cold natural: whole cherries dry slowly under cool conditions. The 2026 harvest cups with vivid acidity, lime and orange sherbet, and ripe kiwi carrying sweetness into the finish. Kiss the Hippo sells it as a 150 g bag from the Rare & Acclaimed selection.”
