{"product_id":"monteblanco-colombia","title":"Monteblanco, Colombia","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn award winning passionfruit-fermented Caturra from Finca Monteblanco, Huila — roasted for filter.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRodrigo Sanchez Valencia grew up on Finca Monteblanco. His grandfather started farming coffee here, his father continued it, and Rodrigo has spent his time on the farm pushing the boundaries of what's possible with processing. This coffee is the result of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinca Monteblanco sits at 1,730m in Acevedo, Huila, one of Colombia's most celebrated coffee-growing regions, fed by the Suaza river and sitting on the edge of Cueva de los Guacharos, one of Colombia's 59 protected national parks. The altitude, the water, the microclimate: everything here points toward quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRodrigo selected purple Caturra for this lot, a distinct strain with higher Brix sugar content than standard Red Caturra, meaning more natural sweetness before processing even begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the cherry is picked, Rodrigo prepares a fermentation mixture of ten different yeasts — lactobacillus, saccharomyces and cerevisiae bacteria — combined with passionfruit, cholupa (a sour Colombian fruit traditionally used to make lemonade), and a sugar-rich feed of molasses, panela or granulated sugar. This mixture is sealed and fermented for eight days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce cherry is harvested and pulped, the coffee is added directly into that fermented fruit mixture and left for a further 180 hours, seven and a half days. The passionfruit and cholupa don't just flavour the fermentation environment: they become part of the coffee's flavour structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, parchment is washed clean and laid on parabolic drying beds, raked regularly for even drying over 20 to 25 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is one of the most distinct coffees we've stocked. You'll know immediately that something different happened here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore about this coffee\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes: \u003c\/strong\u003ePassionfruit, mango, chocolate orange\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Fermentation, Fully Washed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRodrigo Sanchez Valencia\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMonteblanco, Huila\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1730 masl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePurple Caturra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1507\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAeroPress, V60, Kalita\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nelson Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":58413047054717,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Espresso (Ground)","offer_id":58413047087485,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ French Press (Ground)","offer_id":58413047120253,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Aeropress (Ground)","offer_id":58413047153021,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Filter (Ground)","offer_id":58413047185789,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Stove Top \/ Moka Pot (Ground)","offer_id":58413047218557,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":58413047251325,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Espresso (Ground)","offer_id":58413047284093,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ French Press (Ground)","offer_id":58413047316861,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Aeropress (Ground)","offer_id":58413047349629,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Filter (Ground)","offer_id":58413047382397,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Stove Top \/ Moka Pot (Ground)","offer_id":58413047415165,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/6949\/0631\/files\/Monteblanco_web_site_bag_v2.png?v=1784543912","url":"https:\/\/nelsoncoffee.co.uk\/products\/monteblanco-colombia","provider":"Nelson Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
