ARCILA FAMILY RESERVE WINE YEAST & STRAWBERRY

This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Santa Mónica. This coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation period of 72 hours with the pulp on. During this fermentation stage strawberry and wine yeast were added. The cherries were then pulped and placed to dry on raised beds with ripe strawberry placed amongst the coffee until the ideal moisture content was achieved.

Where’s it from

The story of the producer: Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee grower from Quindio, Colombia. He is married to Luz Helena Salazar and they have two children together, Carlos and Felipe Arcila, who are the co- founders of Cofinet. Jairo’s first job was at Colombia’s second-largest exporter, working as their Mill Manager for over 40 years until his retirement in 2019. Jairo bought his first coffee farm, Finca La Esmeralda, in 1987 and this is where he planted his first Caturra lot. He was fortunate enough to earn money by producing coffee on his farm in addition to working full time. Using his savings, Jairo slowly managed to purchase five additional farms. After Esmeralda came Villarazo, Mazatlan, Santa Monica, Maracay and then Buenos Aires. During the harvest period, Jairo is able to provide a number of jobs to locals which has a significant economic impact on their community.

Why we are  different

In the moment you chose our coffee, you decided to become part of the journey, a journey that begins in a faraway place and that ends here, in the cup that you are holding in your hands. We started it, your task is to end it, to take the final step: the tasting.

Every cup is a conversation, a conversation that started many months before, at a different latitude, in a different time zone, in another language. But with the same passion and moreover, with the same goal: to bring you the best coffees in the world.

Every cup represents a person, a story, a face, a country. Our duty is to pick the best ones, all we ask from you is curiosity and the desire to be surprised
