Colombia Santa Rosa de Cabal Freshly Roasted Arabica Artisan Coffee Bean.
Reviewing the offers of hundreds of different coffees available after harvesting, we search for remarkable proposals, matching the offer of the Sochaccy.co coffee shop; guaranteeing on the one hand high quality and on the other hand great possibilities of flavor development during coffee roasting at the Sochaccy Coffee Roastery. Why did we become interested in Colombia Santa Rosa de Cabal coffee in particular? Several factors contributed to this. The first element was the origin of the coffee; a notable Colombian growing region - the source of the best Colombian coffee, another was the method of processing the coffee, clearly gaining in popularity with each harvest. Colombia Santa Rosa de Cabal coffee almost immediately set our coffee imagination in motion with its possibilities, then it only got better during the first coffee roasts. But one step at a time.
This time we would like to invite you to the very heart of coffee in Colombia, the Coffee Triangle(Eje Cafetero). This is a region located at the junction of the four Colombian states of Caldas, Quindío, Risaralda and Tolima, at the foot of Los Nevados National Park. The Coffee Triangle of Colombia is responsible for the majority of specialty coffee cultivation in Colombia.
The high quality of coffee from the area is the result of, on the one hand, a perfect combination of geographic conditions, creating a unique microclimate, and on the other hand, the hard work of local farmers. It's also worth mentioning that coffee in the region is grown using artisanal methods, which largely classifies the crop as organic, with the coffee berries being hand-picked from the bushes. Picking coffee by hand from the bushes helps select the coffee berries that are most ripe. The 18 towns in the Coffee Triangle were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011 as a "Coffee Cultural Landscape." In the Coffee Triangle, we can find a whole range of plantations using traditional farming methods, as well as towns where coffee festivals are held, with competitions; where farmers compete among themselves for the quality of their coffee, thus constantly improving the quality of their crop. The town of Pereira, located in the department of Risaralda, is considered the capital of the region.
The plantation from which Sochaccy Artisan Coffee Roasters received its specialty Colombia Santa Rosa de Cabal coffee is located in the Santa Rosa de Cabal municipality of the Risaralda department. The plantation is called Finca La Rivera and is located in the village of La Estrella. The plantation grows arabica coffee of the Castillo and Caturra varieties. The crop is at an altitude of 1,750 meters above sea level. The coffee is grown on the plantation by Julio César Madrid and Andrés Quiceno, this is the third generation of this family to grow coffee on the plantation.
After harvesting, the coffee has been processed using the honey method, or honeying in Polish. With this processing method, which originated in Costa Rica, only the ripest of the coffee berries are harvested by hand, and virtually the top skin is removed from the coffee berry after harvesting. The soft, sweet pulp is then left on the coffee bean, and the coffee so prepared is dried in the sun. The name of the method arose from the yellowish color of the coffee beans and their stickiness after the peel is removed. During sun drying, the sweet pulp penetrates into the coffee bean, so the coffee is naturally enriched with a large dose of sweetness reminiscent of cane sugar in taste.
In the coffee from our coffee shop coffee roaster Colombia Santa Rosa de Cabal roasted on medium, notes of sweetness of strawberry, chocolate, toffee and tropical fruits are noticeable. With a light roast, citrus sweetness comes to the fore. The coffee is perfect for both medium roasting in espresso machines or coffee machines, as well as light roasting with alternative methods.
