This Yellow Caturra Anaerobic Natural from Finca La Providencia reflects generations of coffee knowledge and a drive to innovate. Owners Fernando Alfaro and Jose Enrique Gutierrez come from long lines of coffee producers, combining traditional expertise with new approaches to coffee production. This lot comes from the Guarumal plot, named for the Guarumo trees that provide natural shade across the farm. Cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness, then fermented in airtight bags for up to 72 hours before being slowly dried on raised beds under shade. The result is a juicy, complex cup with notes of plum, mandarin, sweet grapes, a winey character and intense dark chocolate.
