A PERFECTLY BALANCED CASTILLO COFFEE
Grown in Colombia’s lush high-altitude regions and shaped by decades of innovation, this Castillo-variety led coffee brings balance, brightness, and a story worth sipping. Expect medium body, smooth sweetness, and vibrant notes of chocolate, citrus, and tropical fruit all wrapped in a velvety finish.
Whether you're pulling shots, brewing pour-overs, or enjoying a mellow morning mug, this coffee delivers a clean, consistent cup with character.
Behind The Blend
This specialty-grade offering blends Castillo with other Colombian staples like Caturra and Catuai varieties, each selected for flavor and resilience. Sourced from elevations between 1,400–2,000 MASL and processed using Colombia’s classic washed method, it reflects the heart of the country’s coffee culture.
Developed by Colombia’s Cenicafé, Castillo is prized for both its disease resistance and cup quality. The hybrid thrives in Colombia’s volcanic soil and shifting microclimates, resulting in a profile that’s clean, fruity, and versatile.
Washed processing brings clarity and lift to the acidity, while gentle roasting highlights the bean’s natural caramel sweetness and smooth body. It’s everything you expect from a Colombian coffee but with a little more depth.
