Experience Plum Secret – Colombia Castillo Double Anaerobic

Experience Plum Secret – Castillo Double Anaerobic

Plum, Cherry, Raspberry, and Red Fruits

Plum, cherry, and raspberry dominate in the cup — intense, dark, a bit like a good red fruit liqueur. It all begins during cherry picking. Only very ripe cherries are selected. This ensures they contain significantly more sugars. When you add double anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock, you get a work of art. 

Best enjoyed approximately 3-5 weeks from the roast date.

The coffee comes from Finca El Paraíso in Cauca, Colombia — a farm built from scratch by brothers Diego and Alexander Bermúdez. They started conventionally: Diego sold beans to local cooperatives to pay for his agribusiness management studies. In 2015, together with his brother and cousin Cristián Zúñiga, they entered a regional coffee competition — and won. That was the moment Finca El Paraíso began to write its own history.

Today, Diego develops his next projects: the Native and Paradise Horse roasteries, and the Hachi Coffee Project — a joint venture with Allan Hartmann and Matheus Antonacci, focused on coffee cultivation and processing mainly in Panama and Colombia. Finca El Paraíso itself is now run by Alex and Daniel Bermúdez, continuing the same philosophy of precision that has made the Bermúdez name one of the most important in the specialty coffee world.
