ABOUT THE FARM

Tolima, Huila, Caldas — three regions, many producers, one processing standard: El Vergel Estate. Thanks to this approach, a “regional blend” is not random mixing, but coffee unified under one processing protocol, in one place, under one supervision.

Forest Coffee develops this project under the “Innovation” concept and openly states its goal: consistency, transparency, and real added value for producers.

ABOUT THE COFFEE

Castillo, Caturra, Colombia — a blend of three classic Colombian varieties, selected specifically for this flavor profile and process.

First comes cherry selection, followed by 24 hours in sealed bags (pre-fermentation) and another 24 hours of whole cherry fermentation. After depulping, the beans undergo anaerobic fermentation with yeast and a strawberry aromatic component. Finally, the coffee is mechanically dried (approx. 10 days) and stabilized in GrainPro (approx. 5 days).

RECIPE

Ratio: 60 g of coffee per 1 liter of water

Water temperature: 93°C

Grind size: medium-coarse

Method:

Pour the water in five equal stages (e.g., 5 × 60 g), every 30 seconds.

Allow the water to fully drain through the coffee between pours.

If the flow is too slow or too fast, adjust the grind size accordingly.

Use soft, filtered water for best results.

Store in a cold and dry space.
