Lychee Washed Castillo + (Wine Yeast / Lychee) Jairo Arcila

CUP PROFILE:
Lychee • Exotic Fruits • Vibrant

This coffee hits fast and bright. The wet aroma pops with crisp lychee, lime, green apple, and a delicate floral perfume. Brewed hot, it swings into expressive fruit-candy sweetness— red bubblegum meets rose  with a potent splash of red raspberry and a wild party vibe. A long, coating finish rides out citrus and florals in a fun, fizzy wave.

As the cup cools flavors smooths out. Red fruits and lychee fruit snack notes shine through, trading intensity for a mellow, juicy profile. It’s vivid, playful—and still polished.

ABOUT THE FARMER:
Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee grower from Quindío, Colombia with over 40 years of experience. Starting in 1987 with Finca La Esmeralda, he built a network of six farms—now growing exotic varieties like Pink Bourbon, Java, Papayo, and Gesha under the guidance of his sons Carlos and Felipe, co-founders of Cofinet. Grounded in tradition yet always innovating with advanced fermentation methods, Jairo also cultivates mandarin, orange, plantain, and banana on his land—supporting both flavor diversity and community vitality
