Processing & Origin

This coffee underwent a controlled co-fermentation process using a custom culture of yeast, Lactobacillus, and tropical fruits including pineapple, cholupa, gulupa, and passion fruit. After fermentation, the culture is introduced to freshly harvested coffee cherries for an extended fermentation designed to enhance complexity and fruit expression while preserving the coffee’s natural character.

About the Producers

Finca Monteblanco is located in Acevedo, within the San Adolfo district, overlooking the Suaza River Valley and bordering the protected Parque Nacional Natural Cueva de los Guácharos. At approximately 1,750 meters above sea level, the farm benefits from cool temperatures, steady sunlight, and a biodiverse environment that supports slow cherry maturation and layered cup development. These conditions are key to achieving both high sugar content and clarity in the final profile.
