This premium specialty micro-lot was harvested at Wilton's Granja Paraiso 92 farm.

His team picks cherries with 95% ripeness, they are then promptly taken to Wilton's processing facility, situated at the highest point of the property with an incredible view of the Colombian massif, see the landscape photo.

The coffee cherries were fermented for 72 hours, accentuating the complexity and intensity of the fruit's natural flavour. Followed by depulping, washing and drying. This coffee was then vacuum packed into tiny 5kg lots on site, of which we managed to secure four- just 17kg after roasting, a very limited supply.

Granja Paraiso 92 is in the region of Cauca in the south of Colombia. Cauca is relatively flat compared to other Colombian growing regions, leading to more consistent growing conditions.

A firm favourite with our customers, Wilton is one of our favourite growers and processors. The Tabi varietal often provides a memorable experience: this particular lot seems to be a classic example with vivid and layered fruit flavour notes.

We enjoy our filter roasts from a few days after they are roasted. Store your coffee away from light and heat, and keep the bag sealed tight.
