Colombia Quindío -Finca Buenos Aires - Jairo Arcila - Castillo - Honey Infused Lychee(100g)

After undergoing a 72-hour dry anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks, lychee is added to enhance the fermentation process. The coffee is then dried on African beds together with the lychee at temperatures below 35°C, until the beans reach their ideal moisture content.

The Castillo variety, developed by Colombia’s National Coffee Federation (FNC), is known for its high productivity and resistance to coffee leaf rust, outperforming the traditional Caturra variety in resilience and yield.

Producer Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee grower from the Quindío region of Colombia. He is married to Luz Elena Salazar, and together with their two sons, Carlos and Felipe Arcila, they founded Cofinet. Jairo worked for over 40 years as a mill manager at Colombia’s second-largest coffee exporter before retiring in 2019.

Jairo purchased his first coffee farm, Finca La Esmeralda, in 1987, where he began cultivating Caturra. Through successful harvests, he was able to acquire five additional farms: Villarazo, Mazatlan, Santa Monica, Maracay, and Buenos Aires. During harvest seasons, he provides employment opportunities for locals, contributing to the regional economy.

With deep insights and expertise in coffee picking, sorting, and processing—passed down from his sons—Jairo continues to produce exceptional coffees. His dedication results in outstanding flavor profiles that highlight the unique characteristics of his region.

在密封罐中进行72小时的干式厌氧发酵后，加入荔枝进一步发酵。随后，咖啡连同荔枝一起在非洲式高架床上进行干燥，温度控制在35℃以下，直到咖啡豆达到理想的含水量。

Castillo品种由哥伦比亚国家咖啡协会（FNC）培育而成，相较于Caturra品种，具有更高的产量和更强的抗锈病能力。

生产者海罗·阿尔西拉（Jairo Arcila）是来自哥伦比亚金迪奥地区的第三代咖啡种植者。他与妻子卢斯·埃琳娜·萨拉萨尔（Luz Elena Salazar）以及两个儿子卡洛斯和费利佩·阿尔西拉（Carlos & Felipe Arcila）共同创立了Cofinet公司。海罗曾在哥伦比亚第二大咖啡出口公司担任工厂经理超过40年，直至2019年退休。

1987年，海罗购买了他的第一座咖啡农场“La Esmeralda”，并首次种植了Caturra品种。凭借农场咖啡带来的收益，他幸运地又购买了五个农场：Villarazo、Mazatlan、Santa Monica、Maracay和Buenos Aires。在采收季节，他为当地居民提供了工作机会，积极促进了地区经济的发展。

在儿子们的协助下，海罗在采摘、挑选与处理咖啡方面积累了宝贵的知识和经验。他利用这些专长，持续生产出优质咖啡，并展现出该地区独特风土的卓越风味特征。
