COLOMBIA EL JARDIN WASHED

by Parallel Roasters

El Jardín is in La Gaitania, atop the hills of Planadas municipality in Tolima, Colombia. The area is shaped by the Magdalena River valley and the slopes of the Central and Eastern Andes, extending across the Nevado del Huila volcano.   With temperatures between 18–25°C and volcanic soil, it’s an ideal climate for coffee. This lot of Caturra underwent Washed processing. Cherries were selectively harvested over 20 days for peak ripeness, sorted by floating, and fermented in-cherry for one day. After pulping, the coffee was dry fermented for three days, then double washed and dried in a parabolic dryer.
