This coffee comes from 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.

Wilton's exotic varietals are harvested at Granja Paraiso 92 & Finca La Macarena which are neighbouring farms. Generally, the team picks cherries with 95% ripeness.

They then brings the cherries to Wilton's processing facility which is located at the highest point of the property with an incredible view of the Colombian massif. Here, the coffees are fermented, depulped, washed and dried in his state of the art facility. He also packs his coffee on site.

A firm favourite with our customers, Wilton is one of our favourite growers and processors.
