Processing

In the washed process the fruit is removed from the seed as soon as possible after picking. The cherries are floated and sorted to ensure consistent ripeness levels, before being run through depulpers—machines that squeeze the fruit between rollers until the seeds pop out.

Caturra and Castillo Varietals

Caturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety. It was discovered on a plantation in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil sometime between 1915 and 1918.

Caturra like bourbon is known to be sweet, complex, and crisp. The caturra plant, however, has been modified to have a smaller plant size with berries that mature quickly, producing a higher coffee bean yield.
The Castillo coffee variety is controversial. On one hand, it’s rust-resistant. On the other hand, coffee professionals are wary of the fact that its parents include Robusta-Arabica hybrids. Castillo is known for its smoothness, aroma, and citric acidity and can have similar qualities to Typica, Caturra, and Bourbon
