Rio Bamisa

Named after the Bamisa River that nourishes its surrounding valleys, this coffee embodies
the vitality of its namesake. Sourced from the lush landscapes of Colombia, Rio Bamisa highlights the exceptional Caturrón variety. The Bamisa River, a lifeline for the local coffee-growing communities, provides the fertile conditions necessary for cultivating this unique lot. Through meticulous natural processing, the cherries’ sugars are absorbed into the
beans, enhancing their vibrant, fruit-forward profile. Rio Bamisa is a tribute to the harmony between Colombia's natural resources and its innovative coffee traditions.

Once the coffee cherries are received, the cherries undergo a water-based treatment to eliminate defects and are ready for fermentation, which runs between 2-3 hours. Finally, the cherries are transferred for drying until the moisture content within reaches 10-11%. Following this, the coffee beans are extracted from the cherries.

Caturrón is a unique coffee cultivar originating in Colombia, specifically discovered in the Huila region, although its exact origin remains uncertain. It is a hybrid resulting from a cross between Híbrido de Timor (Arabica x Robusta) and either Bourbon or Caturra, making it genetically similar to Variedad Colombia but with notable distinctions.

Characterised by its uniformity and distinct oblong beans, Caturrón is celebrated for its tropical fruit aromas and flavours, which begin with the cherries and carry through to the cup. The cultivar also demonstrates resilience against leaf rust, a trait inherited from its Híbrido de Timor lineage.
