Tasting Notes

Watermelon, Candy Sweetness, Clean

A Castillo lot from acclaimed Colombian producer Jairo Arcila at Santa Monica farm in Quindio. The coffee undergoes a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation with fresh watermelon added to the tanks to enhance its vibrant fruit character, then fully washed and dried carefully over 10 days. The result is bright, candy-like watermelon sweetness that stays elegant and clean — none of the funk often associated with co-fermented coffees. Crisp, refreshing, and remarkably easy to enjoy.

Jairo Arcila is one of the most celebrated producers in Colombia, known for pushing the boundaries of processing and experimentation at his Santa Monica farm in Quindio. Working with sourcing partners Cofinet, his approach combines precision fermentation with meticulous drying to create coffees with distinctive, clean fruit character. A third-generation farmer whose work has helped put Colombian specialty coffee on the global map.
