    This coffee is a masterclass in precision processing, designed to bring out its vibrant, complex flavours. Starting with handpicked cherries at peak ripeness, a careful floating process removes any imperfections, ensuring only the finest fruit progresses. After an initial oxidation stage, the cherries are pulped dry and undergo a second oxidation to strip the mucilage, followed by thermal shock washing. A 72-hour fermentation with carefully selected yeast cultures unlocks intricate secondary aromas, sealed with a chilling wash to preserve the coffee’s vibrant character. The beans are then gently dried at controlled temperatures to lock in flavour and freshness.

    This meticulous approach translates directly into the cup. Bursting with ripe berry and currant notes, the coffee balances floral lilac and herbaceous blackcurrant leaf undertones with a creamy, full-bodied texture. Hints of melon and strawberry add a subtle, fruity complexity, while the smooth sweetness and lingering aroma ensure every sip is an exceptional experience.

    Cupping Notes

    This coffee offers a lively blend of ripe berry fruit and currant, complemented by delicate lilac and floral notes. Sweet and rounded, it unveils a smooth, full-bodied flavor with a subtle touch of blackcurrant leaf herbals as it cools. Hints of melon and strawberry add to its fruity complexity without being overwhelming. The aroma lingers beautifully, making every sip a delightful experience from start to finish.

    Name Jorge Mira
    Location Amalfi, Antioquia See on a map

    Located at 1,500 meters above sea level in the Amalfi municipality of Antioquia, El Jaragual is a 150-hectare family-owned farm managed by Jorge Mira. Nestled in the heart of the Colombian Andes, this region offers the perfect environment for growing high-quality coffee, with rich soil, ample rainfall, and cool mountain air.

    Jorge, a forestry engineer by trade, has infused his expertise into El Jaragual, where much of the farm is dedicated to sustainable forestry. Alongside pine plantations for timber, the farm also nurtures seven coffee varieties, including Castillo, Colombia, Pink Bourbon, and Gesha, all grown under plantain shade trees. New cultivars like Typica Mejorado and Sidra are set to join the farm’s lineup soon.

    The coffee at El Jaragual is processed with care and precision, using extended fermentation, yeast inoculation, and controlled temperature processes to enhance complex aromas. This careful balance of traditional methods and modern techniques creates a cup that is both unique and full of character—showcasing the best of both innovation and heritage in Colombian coffee.
