    About the farmer(s)

    Arturo Arango - Caturra [washed] — Colombia

    Arturo Arango is a young coffee farmer who has been producing coffee since 2015. El Paraiso is his 25-hectare farm, located in Barcelona, Quindío. Most of the coffee trees were more than 25 years old when he purchased the farm, so he started to replace every tree, planting Castillo, Costa Rican and Java varieties. After 3 years, the new trees had produced enough coffee to harvest & the results were excellent, encouraging Arturo to continue regenerating his farm. Besides coffee, Arturo grows other crops such as yucca and lemon. Arturo studied Business Administration and completed his master’s degree in agroindustries in Argentina. He has applied his knowledge to produce the highest quality coffees he can. Arturo takes great care to remove all the weeds around the base of his coffee trees and disease prevention.

    After finishing work, Arturo enjoys sauntering around his coffee farm to clear his mind.

    This lot is 100% Caturra, a mutation of Bourbon discovered in Brasil in 1937. The plant is a dwarf so it can be planted close together resulting in more production per hectare. Caturra has good flavour characteristics but is susceptible to disease.
