Farm and Producer

Faustino Reyes produces this Java selection from Zipacon, Cundinamarca, Colombia. The growing elevation for this lot is 1800 masl.

Variety

Java has genetic ties to Ethiopian landrace material and a cultivation history that includes Indonesia and Africa. It has shown strong quality potential at altitude and offers producers another option alongside more widely planted Arabica varieties.

Processing

La Palma y El Tucán’s lactic process uses a low-oxygen fermentation environment managed to favor lactic acid bacteria. These microorganisms transform sugars during fermentation and can affect perceived sweetness and texture. Temperature and oxygen control are central to the approach.
