ARMADILLO - Colombia - Alexander Hernández (Caturra Washed) (Pacific Cooler, Cherry, Tropical Fruit, Sweet Orange, Starfruit)
Alexander Hernández grows Caturra on his farm La Esperanza in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, where he employs a sophisticated processing method to unlock complexity. After depulping, the beans undergo 50-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks, followed by five days on African raised beds and eight hours of mechanical drying—a hybrid approach that preserves delicate flavors while ensuring consistency. The result is a coffee brimming with caramel sweetness, tropical fruit, and citric brightness, with tasting notes of pacific cooler, cherry, tropical fruit, sweet orange, and starfruit. This is specialty coffee with purpose: proceeds support Alexander's family and farm infrastructure after he rebuilt his life following forced displacement.
