The Farm - El Jaragual, a 150-hectare farm in Amalfi, Antioquia, is run by Jorge Mira, a forestry engineer who has balanced coffee cultivation with sustainable timber and native forest conservation. Processing here blends tradition with innovation, using extended fermentation, yeast inoculation, and controlled temperature shifts to develop and fix complex aromas.
The Process - Cherries are harvested at 90% ripeness, oxidised for 24 hours, and dry-pulped before another oxidation phase removes mucilage. A 45°C thermal shock wash, followed by 68 hours of fermentation below 25°C, builds structure and depth, with a final cold wash at 5°C sealing the process. Drying over 76 hours at 40°C ensures stability before resting in grainpro bags. This careful approach results in a coffee with exceptional clarity, depth, and a balance of technical precision and natural expression.
