ENCANTO [Finca La Holandesa] [Castillo] [Washed]

Finca La Holandesa_Café Encanto

Registered as café Encanto… long before the movie hit the screens!

Produced in the volcanic mountains of Santa Rosa de Cabal, Café Encanto is a washed Castillo micro lot grown at 1950 m.a.s.l in Vereda El Manzanillo at Finca La Holandesa. Carefully handcrafted by a family of specialty coffee producers, this coffee reflects the traditional coffee culture and biodiversity of the Colombian Andes while combining ancestral drying techniques with carefully controlled fermentation and processing.

Each cherry is selectively harvested and classified bean by bean according to ripeness and quality before undergoing a washed process designed to highlight clarity, sweetness, and balance in the cup. The coffee is slowly sun-dried in the mountain climate of Risaralda until reaching an ideal humidity between 10% and 11%, preserving the natural character of the coffee before roasting.

Processing

Using traditional coffee knowledge and careful post-harvest control, the coffee is fermented and dried naturally under the Colombian mountain sun. The interaction between solar heat, altitude, and slow drying enhances sweetness and complexity while maintaining a clean and balanced profile. Once dried to the ideal moisture content, the coffee is roasted to a medium profile, or adjusted according to customer preference.
