Colombia El Jardin is a super juicy coffee and the type of coffee you could easily knock back a few in one sitting. This beautifully balanced coffee is sweet with citrus and stone fruit flavours, and also has a creamy body. You'd think we weren't talking about coffee when describing this one

Variety: Caturra, Colombia
Processing: Washed
Farm owner: Leonel Calambás
The coffee in this lot was selectively hand-harvested, with most labour being provided by Don Leonel and his family. It was processed using the washed method at the farm’s ‘micro-beneficio’ (mill).
The coffee was pulped using a small manual or electric pulper and then placed into a fermentation tank, where it was fermented for around 48 hours (depending on the weather and the farm’s location) and then washed using clean water from nearby rivers and streams.
The coffee was then carefully dried (over 10–18 days) on parabolic beds, which are constructed a bit like a ‘hoop house’ greenhouse, and act to protect the coffee from the rain and prevent condensation dripping back onto the drying beans. The greenhouses are constructed out of plastic sheets and have adjustable walls to help with airflow, and temperature control to ensure the coffee can dry slowly and evenly.
Once dry, the coffee was delivered to Pergamino’s warehouse in Medellín, where it was cupped and graded. Once approved, coffee rested in parchment until it was ready for export.
