The Farmer's Story

Colombian small farmer Abdias Lasso Muñoz has 25 years of coffee production experience. For the past 10 years, he has focused on producing high-quality coffee. His parents were among the first coffee growers in this region, and from them, he inherited his love for coffee. His coffee processing methods are quite secretive—he only mentions that the variety, agronomic management, and fertilization are key factors that help achieve fruitful results. His success is partly due to the continuous support from the Fundam foundation. This is his first time participating in the "Cup of Excellence" competition, and for him and his family, this honor has established them as renowned quality coffee producers.

About Caturra Variety

The Arabica coffee variety Caturra is a mutation of Bourbon, first discovered in Brazil. In terms of flavor, it carries lemon or citrus acidity, with fruitiness in its sweetness. Although its sweetness doesn't quite match that of Typica and Bourbon, with proper roasting treatment, the sweetness can perform excellently. The sweetness of Caturra depends on the frequency and dosage of fertilization by growers, and since it requires 2 years to harvest and higher care costs, production remains somewhat limited.

Honey Processing Method

Situated between natural and washed processing methods, after removing the skin and pulp, the mucilage is retained and dried under sunlight. The term "honey" comes from the very sticky mucilage layer, which feels as adhesive as honey. The mucilage layer retains a high proportion of sugar and acidity, which is key to honey processing, producing flavors that fall between natural and washed processing methods.
