Rose Tea
Rose Tea comes from Finca El Paraíso in Cauca, Colombia, where the Bermudez brothers have spent years exploring what careful fermentation can reveal in Castillo. Grown at 1,960 masl, the coffee is washed and undergoes a double anaerobic fermentation, followed by dehumidifier drying, stabilization, and cool storage.
Mango, guava, and papaya lead the cup, layered with kiwi and orange blossom. Bright tropical acidity brings definition, while a subtle yogurt-like character adds complexity. The finish is sweet, fruity, and lingering.
Available in a 24kg box with the coffee vacuum-packed in GrainPro, Rose Tea gives roasters a floral expression of Castillo that remains clear and structured in the cup. Request a sample.

What is so special about this coffee?
At Finca El Paraíso, Diego and Alex monitor temperature, pH, and sugar levels throughout fermentation. That combination of data and experience allows them to follow the coffee closely and determine when it is ready to move from one stage to the next.
After fermentation, dehumidifier drying gives the team greater control over how moisture is removed. The coffee is then stabilized and kept in cool storage, careful steps that help carry its floral character, creamy texture, and rose tea finish to the cupping table.
