Colombia Piamonte Slow Caturra

On our last visit to Colombia, we were invited to be judges in a local coffee competition - a competition where this particular coffee won. That very afternoon we bought it at an open auction held in the square of the small town of Ciudad Bolívar.

The coffee is a 72 hour fermented fully washed lot from the Piamonte farm; an ancient farm at 1850 meters altitude, historically recognized for its beautiful topography. Here, high quality coffee is grown from a variety of varieties. Piamonte is particularly noted for its long fermentations - made possible by the cool climate of the high altitude.

The result is an elegant coffee with a sweet tropical fruitiness, balanced by a fresh and refreshing acidity.

ABOUT PIAMONTE

På Piamonte odlas både exotiska – Geisha, Chiroso, sidra med mera – och traditionella kaffevarieteter – Caturra, Bourbon, Castillo. Detta gör det möjligt för dem att producera ett brett utbud av kaffestilar, inklusive bärtorkat, honey, pulp natural & Våtförädlat (som på denna lott).  Ofta används extra långsam fermentering och kolsyremacerationstekniker. Den harmoniska balansen mellan näringsämnena i jorden gör Piamonte helt unikt och erbjuder en enorm potential för att utforska nya smaker och distinkta smaknoter.
