After harvest, the cherries are depulped and the coffee undergoes fermentation for 12–16 hours, depending on weather conditions. The coffee is then dried, most often in the sun, although mechanical drying is used during periods of rain. The drying process takes up to two weeks in total. During hulling, the coffee is further sorted, with only the largest and highest-quality beans being selected.
A classic washed Colombian Arabica profile. In the cup, expect vibrant acidity with notes of red berries and citrus. As the coffee cools, flavors reminiscent of orange jelly, milk chocolate mousse, and yellow apple emerge. The sweetness is pronounced, with panela-like characteristics. The body is tea-like, light, and clean.
Don Jorge Emilio Bravo grows coffee on his farm, El Jardin de Linares, located in the municipality of Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda, at the foothills of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, at elevations between 1,600 and 1,800 meters above sea level. Thanks to the region’s cool climate, where temperatures rarely exceed 22°C, the harvest begins later than in most Colombian coffee-growing regions — typically in November. The Castillo variety expresses a classic Colombian flavor profile with notes of fruit, red berries, and chocolate.
