Wilton Benitez | Colombia

Wilton Benitez, a true innovator in the coffee industry, is redefining what it means to produce exceptional, high-quality coffee at Finca El Paraíso 92. This family farm, located in Colombia, has become a leader in pushing the boundaries of coffee cultivation, utilizing cutting-edge techniques to grow a diverse range of varieties such as Java, Bourbon Pink, Geisha, Pacamara, Caturra, Tabi, and more.

This Yellow Typica undergoes the following advanced process:

1. Manual harvest
2. Characterisation of the cherry
3. Classification of the cherry by density and size
4. Sterilisation of the cherry (with UV and
   Ozone)
5. Cherry fermentation for 48 hours
6. During cherry fermentation, addition of specific yeast to enhance fruity notes
7. Cherry pulping
8. Fermentation for 68 hours in parchment
9. During cherry fermentation natural grain juices are produced, which then are incorporated in the second fermentation
10. Washing of the cherries
11. Drying of the cherries with controlled equipment for 48 hours at 38C

This Yellow Typica comes along as such a clean and amazing coffee, which reminds us to notes of lavender and hints of tropical fruits when getting colder. We recommend this gem for all filter brew methods or as a very mild espresso in combination with milk.

The green coffee is imported through our import partner "Mi Cafe".
