Paola & Carlos Trujillo • Washed-Processed Sidra

Recommended Roast Level City (Light) Tasting Notes This is a superb coffee that is very high-clarity and delicate. I love the muted citrus-y profile this provides while shying away from heavy acid. Much like key lime pie there’s an essence of citric acidity without any semblance of mouth-puckering reaction on the palate, it’s just sweet and tasty. For a washed coffee, this presents among the more complex and sweet profiles we have without needed heavy development in the roast. I feel like I’m saying this with every write up recently but this is one of my favs at the moment. -Jonathan, Head Roaster Finca Patio Bonito Coffee Production Patio Bonito is a hardworking and innovative family-run farm in Caldono, Cauca. Founder Carlos Arturo Trujillo has been a coffee farmer for almost 50 years, and he says, "It has been a long road, but in the end, it is very satisfactory." He is assisted on his farm by his daughter, Paola Trujillo, who has been especially integral in helping Carlos perfect the fermentation process for his coffee. Paola spent many years previously working as a cupper and buyer in Nariño and Huila for an exporting company. After returning to the farm in 2022, she has innovated how they process their washed and natural coffees, including “thermal shock” and anaerobic modulations to their processes. The total area of the farm is 11 hectares, with 9 hectares of coffee, or 47,000 coffee trees across 13 varieties, including Castillo, Colombia, and Pink Bourbon, Gesha, Typica, SL-28, Red Bourbon, Java, Bourbon "Aji", Sidra, Pacamara, Laurina, and Wush Wush. The Trujillo family are passionate in their pursuit of quality, and in their attention to detail in every aspect of the farm. According to the Trujillo's, all operations at Patio Bonito are grounded in three core values: food security, soil conservation and management, and coffee cultivation. The farm's mission is "to provide alternatives and training to farmers and students on the management, conservation, and exploration of natural resources and the environment," and the family's philosophy is, “The best legacy we can leave to our children is: love, knowledge, and a planet in which to live."
