Colombia Monteblanco Tropical Co-Ferment

Highlights

“Finca Monteblanco, located high along the winding mountain roads of Vereda La Tocora in the San Adolfo municipality above Pitalito, is a family farm managed by Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia in the tradition of coffee cultivation that began with his grandfather. In 2002 Rodrigo learned to cup, connecting farming techniques to cup profiles, leading him to explore the varieties his grandfather planted in the 1980s — including Purple Caturra. This lot showcases a multi-stage co-fermentation developed through years of experimentation. Specific microorganisms — Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae — are cultivated separately, combined into a mother culture, and progressively enriched with tropical fruits (pineapple, cholupa, gulupa, passion fruit) and natural sugars.”
