Jairo Arcila Santa Monica Washed Castillo (Wine Castillo / Lychee)

The Jairo Arcila Santa Monica Washed Castillo – Wine Yeast / Lychee is one of the more expressive co-fermented coffees from Finca Santa Monica. The ripe coffee cherries are carefully selected and fermented in a low-oxygen environment. During fermentation, lychee and wine yeast are added. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and dried on raised beds. That washed finish is important because it gives the coffee considerably more clarity than some of Arcila's heavier honey or natural co-ferments. The wine yeast helps convert sugars during fermentation and contributes additional aromatic compounds, while the lychee brings a very distinctive tropical/floral character Very limited. Very special. Don’t wait too long!
