The cup is structured around purple-fruit sweetness, rounded texture, and a tart-fruit acidity, with the whole-cherry fermentation and drying process contributing density and aromatic intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Finca El Paraíso\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinca El Paraíso is located in El Naranjal, about 20 minutes from Buesaco in Nariño, Colombia. The farm sits at an average altitude of 1,850 meters above sea level, near the Juanambú River canyon, where high luminosity, moving air currents, and a nearby water source help shape the farm’s growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJosé Ignacio Gómez leads El Paraíso, a farm with coffee production tied to his family across multiple generations. The farm has cultivated varieties such as Caturra, Geisha, and Pink Bourbon, and its location in Buesaco places it within one of Nariño’s established specialty coffee-producing areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaturra is a compact natural mutation of Bourbon and has been widely planted in Latin America, including Colombia. In this lot, the variety provides a familiar, structured base for a more expressive natural process: the result is not just a clean Caturra profile, but one pushed toward darker berry, dried-fruit sweetness, and cocoa depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot is processed as a natural, with a controlled whole-cherry fermentation stage before drying. Cherries are hand-selected for ripeness, sorted by color, washed, and separated by density through flotation on the same day they are picked. They then undergo 120 hours of whole-cherry fermentation in 200-liter plastic tanks without oxygen or light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the coffee is dried using a mixed drying method: five days of solar drying followed by three days of mechanical drying. This approach helps concentrate fruit sweetness and body while maintaining enough structure for the cranberry and fig notes to remain defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Hydrangea Chose This Coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe selected this lot during our February visit to PROCAAL in Nariño. On the Caturra table, it stood out clearly for its purple-fruit character, showing the kind of deep berry and dried-fruit expression that made it a strong fit for Hydrangea’s menu.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hydrangea Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"4oz (114g)","offer_id":54631115424066,"sku":"4OZ-JOSE-GOMEZ-CATURRA-NATURAL","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8oz (227g)","offer_id":54631115456834,"sku":"8OZ-JOSE-GOMEZ-CATURRA-NATURAL","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lbs (907g)","offer_id":54631115489602,"sku":"2LBS-JOSE-GOMEZ-CATURRA-NATURAL","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lbs (2270g)","offer_id":54631115522370,"sku":"5LBS-JOSE-GOMEZ-CATURRA-NATURAL","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/6887\/3282\/files\/Fig_Cranberry_Chocolatetruffles_1.jpg?v=1754178893","url":"https:\/\/hydrangea.coffee\/products\/caturra-natural-finca-el-paraiso-jose-gomez","provider":"Hydrangea Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
