This microlot coffee is 100% Caturra. A variety that originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon that produces more coffee and is more resistant to plan diseases than Bourbon. 

This coffee was grown at the farm Buenos Aires, ripe cherries were handpicked and sorted to remove defects. The coffee was sundried on raised beds in temperature-controlled conditions until the ideal moisture content was achieved.
