Colombia Finca El Oasis
This coffee was grown by Luzmila Gonzales at the farm El Oasis in Tolima, Colombia.
Doña Luzmila is a dedicated first-generation coffee farmer and has been producing coffee since 2008 with the support of her husband Eider. Luzmila owns two farms in Gaitania, Tolima. The first is El Oasis which is 10 hectares in size and located at 1750 m.a.s.l. The second is El Recreo which is 4 hectares in size and is located at 1600 m.a.s.l. Luzmila produces mainly traditional Colombian varieties on her coffee farms such as Castillo, Caturra, Colombia, and Typica. In addition to coffee, she also grows beans and fruit trees such as mandarin.
Cherries for this microlot were picked following strict ripeness criteria. Cherries were later pulped and exposed to 35 hours of dry fermentation. Later, the cherries were placed on raised beds for 11 days until 10% moisture content was reached. This microlot is 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.
Notes: Clementine, nectarine, hibiscus
