When done well, natural Castillo coffees should be quite straightforward. You can easily start with high settings and slowly decline. Unlike washed coffee, they are sensitive close to the first crack, and they are prone to flicking, so they can get burned easily.
Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.
This coffee is a single-variety Castillo blend from two different farms, grown by Omar Henry Cuaji Guevara and Andres Felipe Angulo Garrido – each bringing their care, tradition, and expertise to create a unique and harmonious cup.

Caring for coffee here is a year-round craft. Farmers carefully prune, fertilize, and manage shade crops to keep trees healthy and fields productive. After harvest, only the ripest cherries are picked, then fermented, washed, and slowly dried to perfection.
Local families play a key role in every step, from picking to processing, ensuring quality while supporting the community. The beans are finally rested and stabilized, ready to carry the unique story of the farm in every cup.
