About Brisa Eterna

This Caturra comes from Alvaro Noguera's Brisa Eterna in Nariño, Colombia. The selection is grown at approximately 2,000 meters and prepared using a washed process.

Variety

Caturra is a compact natural mutation of Bourbon, widely cultivated in Colombia. Its smaller growth habit supports closer planting, although it is susceptible to coffee leaf rust. The variety's quality potential depends on farming and post-harvest preparation.

Processing

In washed preparation, the cherry skin and pulp are removed and fermentation loosens the remaining mucilage. The coffee is washed and dried in parchment. Removing the fruit before drying can support a clearly defined cup, with the result shaped by fermentation, drying, and roasting.
