The Process
The Colombia Caturra Washed undergoes a meticulous process that starts with the hand-picking of perfectly ripe cherries. After a 30-hour underwater fermentation, the cherries are pulped, washed, and dried under controlled conditions to preserve their quality. This careful process ensures that every batch delivers the exceptional taste and aroma you expect from a premium coffee.
