COLOMBIA El Silencio Beer Hops – Filter

After returning to her family’s farm, El Silencio in Filandia, Sara Gutiérrez embraced innovation, challenging tradition with experimental fermentation. Now a Cup of Excellence judge and local coffee leader, she’s shaping Colombia’s coffee future. This honey-processed Caturra is co-fermented with beer hops, adding depth and aromatic complexity. After 24-hour cherry rest and 48-hour tank fermentation, slow drying on raised beds preserves its structure. The hops subtly enhance the coffee’s profile, introducing a unique layer of flavor. The result is a distinctive cup unlike anything we’ve tried, with Grand Marnier, praline, Panettone, and a gentle hop character—a fascinating intersection of coffee and fermentation innovation.
