This lot was produced by Gustavo Silva in Planadas, Tolima. At his farm, nestled at a crisp altitude of 1,718 masl, Gustavo and his family grow a variety of coffees, including Caturra, V. Colombia, and F8. As is most common in Colombia, Gustavo uses the washed process for his lots; however, his process involves a slight variation. Interestingly, when drying his coffee, he prefers to use raised timber beds inside a marquesina—a greenhouse-like structure typically used for drying parchment. You can expect a lighter-bodied cup that is sweet with a crisp finish, reminding us of lemon myrtle.
