El Paraiso Red Plum P-02

Grade 15+

The Red Plum green coffee beans from Finca El Paraíso in Cauca, Colombia is a coffee that shows why this farm is at the center of innovation in the specialty world. Led by Alex, Daniel and Diego Bermudez, El Paraiso has gained worldwide recognition for its scientific approach to fermentation, creating coffees that are vibrant, consistent, and unlike anything else from Colombia.

This Castillo lot delivers a cup full of energy and balance. Expect bright flavors of plum, cherry, raspberry, and granadilla, lifted by a juicy acidity and rounded with a long cherry finish. Behind these notes is a precise process: double fermentation with pulp using a custom “Paraíso Red Fruit” culture made from mucilage and cascara, followed by thermal shock and careful dehumidified drying. The result is a clean, fruit-forward profile that stays true to its character from sample roast to production.

Available in small quantities, Red Plum is a high-end Colombian coffee that gives roasters both distinction and reliability. With limited quantities available, it’s a chance to bring an extraordinary and modern expression of Castillo to your menu.

What is so special about this coffee?

The innovative processing at Finca El Paraiso makes this Lychee Peach coffee truly special. The cherries are carefully selected, disinfected with ozone, and undergone a 36-hour anaerobic fermentation process, then, a second fermentation with specific microorganisms follows, creating distinct flavours like red apple, peach, pear, and caramel. This scientific approach guarantees a complex and consistent profile, even on an industrial scale.

After fermentation, the coffee undergoes a thermal shock process, alternating hot and cold water to lock in the flavours and prevent over-fermentation. The drying process with a dehumidifier preserves the coffee’s creamy body and long, fruity aftertaste. These advanced methods make Lychee Peach a standout in the specialty coffee market, offering a vibrant, balanced cup with an outstanding 93-point score.
