About Finca El Paraíso

José Ignacio Gómez grows coffee at Finca El Paraíso in Buesaco, Nariño. He comes from a family with three generations in coffee. Air moving through the nearby Ijagüí basin is part of the farm's growing environment.

Variety

Caturra is a compact natural mutation of Bourbon that has been widely cultivated in Colombia. Its smaller stature supports closer planting, while its cup quality depends on growing conditions and post-harvest work.

Processing

This is a natural-process Caturra. The coffee dries with the fruit surrounding the seed before the dried cherry is removed during milling. Managing drying and moisture is central to preserving the coffee through this longer period of fruit contact.
