Embassy Coffee Santa Monica

A wonderful example of a delicious and clean washed Colombian coffee, sourced from Jairo Arcila for multiple years. Jairo hails from Quindio and Santa Monica is his own farm. A highly regarded third-generation coffee farmer, he is also the father of Cofinet's founders Carlos and Felipe Arcila, and husband of another of the area's most skilled coffee growers, Luz Helena Salazar.

This coffee is harvested with strict criteria regarding ripeness of the cherries. They are floated and hand sorted to remove any defect cherries - this is an effective way to find any defects as they float while the good cherries sink.

Once sorted, the cherries are then fermented underwater for 30 hours, pulped, then gently washed and dried in temperature controlled conditions until the ideal moisture content is reached.
