Preparation Methods

Colombia Castillo is a very fresh and fruity coffee with a pleasant sweetness. We recommend drinking it as single origin or in an espresso blend for some fruitiness and sweetness.
The coffee is perfect as a cappuccino, because in combination with the milk the fruity notes come into their own. Also great as a fresh and invigorating cold brew, filter or in the Aeropress.
Origin
Patricia Builes’s family has run the farm La Hacienda Villa Clemencia for more than 45 years and the knowledge of coffee production has been passed down from generation to generation. The estate is located in Risaralda in the west of Colombia at an altitude of 1650 meters above sea level. The soil is volcanic and loamy, and therefore very nutritious.
The entire production has been converted to organic in recent years. As a result, both the yield and the quality of the coffee has increased, and at the same time the ecosystem has recovered. The farm has also created space for endangered species such as the Colombian walnut (Cedro Negro), which affects the farm's water supply and creates an optimal environment for both coffee planting and biodiversity. For the coffee, the family receives more than twice the fair-trade price.



Roasting recommendation for Castillo coffee
The coffee should be roasted from light (city) to medium (full city). The fruity components are most pronounced in these roasts. Directly after first crack the (very pleasant) fruit acid is still clearly emphasized; about halfway between first and second crack the sweetness is very pronounced.
You can find roasting profiles for this bean in the knowledge section: for Gene Café, for Hottop Manual, for Hottop with Artisan and for Aillio Bullet R1 V2.
Packaging
The green coffee is delivered in a transparent and resealable 1kg or 5kg Ecotact freshness bag.
