There’s hardly a more autumnal coffee than Colombia Caturrón. Its profile – distinctly spicy and gently creamy – captivated us right away. While co-fermented coffees are having their prime, it was Caturrón that showed us this process doesn’t have to be one-dimensional. Co-fermentation can complement a variety’s character rather than cover it. That’s why it’s so easy to reach for this coffee. It simply calls for a book and a blanket to disappear under.
Luis Aníbal Calderón, one of the pioneers of high-quality Colombian coffee, combined this variety with fermentation using natural cardamom. The depulped cherries underwent a 72-hour aerobic fermentation with the spice, allowing the aromas to gently infuse the bean’s structure and give it a warm, spicy tone.
The result is a coffee that’s sweet, deep, and full of spice, with a refreshing herbal undertone. Balanced and comforting – like autumn in a cup.
