This coffee was grown by Paola Trujillo at the farm Patio Bonito. This

coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-

sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours

of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was

then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions

until ideal moisture content was achieved.

This is a traditional variety in Colombia and most of the small-scale

coffee farmers have this variety in their parcels. In the late eighteenth

century, cultivation spread to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Colombia.

Until the 1940s, the majority of coffee plantations in South and Central

America were planted with Typica.
