After partial pulping , fermentation in insulated bags lasts 22 hours, followed by a double wash and slow drying in the sun , which can last up to 15 days. Each phase is designed to enhance the natural sweetness of the coffee and its aromatic complexity .

In the cup , this Castillo offers a bright and structured drink , with notes of apple, honey , red and cinnamon . The body is round , velvety , and the aromatic persistence leaves its mark even after the last sip.
A clean , elegant and sincere filter , which tells a forty-year long story.
