Have you ever had a coffee that brought you through a roller-coaster ride from hot to cold, tingling you with a cooling mint sensation and an end note that makes you go, "this is actually good!?"

Say hi to Finca El Mirador's Pink Champagne washed catiope!

Our current offering from El Mirador is a catiope coffee - a cross between Colombian Caturra and Ethiopian heirloom. It is a low-growing (easy to harvest), high-bearing tree (cost effective) with slightly copper-coloured leaves and generally sweet, full-red cherries at a brix level of 20-23°.

The Pink Champagne washed basically macerates the coffee with a culture that is pre-cultivated with spices and fruits. The depulped coffees are placed in air-tight plastic tanks together with the culture for 140 hours and dried for 25–30 days.
