Colombia Blackberry Mint is a coffee that combines fruity and fresh flavours with an exotic note. Produced in the Quindío region, on the Armenia farm at an altitude of 1,400–1,450 metres, this unique micro-lot of the Castillo variety impresses with its distinctive aromas and rich flavour. Each coffee cherry undergoes a 72-hour dry anaerobic fermentation alongside the pulp, during which fresh blackberries and crushed mint are added, creating a rich and fresh flavour profile. After fermentation, the beans are dried on raised beds, which preserves the flavour notes of ripe blackberries, caramel, lime and delicate tropical notes.

Features:

• Dry anaerobic process with additives: The coffee is processed using an innovative method that involves blackberries and mint during fermentation, giving it its distinctive flavour profile.
• High plant resistance: The Castillo variety has been bred to be resistant to leaf rust, which contributes to the higher quality and consistency of the harvest.
• Organic farming: The high altitude and the natural environment of the Quindío region provide rich soil, which further enhances the flavour profile of the beans.

Benefits:

• A fresh and complex flavour: It strikes a balance between the sweetness of blackberries and the freshness of lime, creating a multi-layered experience with every sip.
• Enhanced flavour profile: The aromas of caramel and tropical fruits really stand out, thanks to the special treatment with blackberries and mint.
• Natural and healthy: The use of natural fruit extracts during the fermentation process highlights the coffee’s natural character and ensures an authentic flavour without artificial flavourings.
