YESICA MORENO AND FINCA EL ROSAL

Finca El Rosal is located in Urrao, Antioquía, Colombia, and is managed by Yesica Moreno, a 36-year-old, second-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 3.5 hectares of land, with 2.5 hectares currently dedicated to growing coffee. It sits at an elevation of 1,950 m.a.s.l.

All of her coffee is processed in the same way; upon arriving at the wet mill, the coffee is de-pulped and left to dry ferment for 84 hours in its own mucilage. The parchment is then washed and placed to dry in raised beds for around 15 days, depending on the weather. 

This particular lot is a stellar fruit-forward Caturra, reminding us of the fruits we love throughout the summer and those last few spoons of melted sorbet after a barbecue (or braai, if you’re South African). In the cup we taste strawberry, melted raspberry sorbet, and figs.
