Colombia Cata Reserve - semi washed castillo

Located in the highlands of Timaná, Cata Reserva spans 30 hectares—half of which are preserved as a natural forest, while the other half is dedicated to cultivating Pink Bourbon, Geisha, and Laurina blends. Currently, 7 hectares remain in active production as part of a replanting program. 

The relationship with this farm began in 2019, when Cata Export purchased coffee from producer Rodrigo Cortés for export to Spain. After Mr. Rodrigo’s retirement, and with no family successors interested in managing the farm, Cata Export acquired it. Since then, Cat and Pierre have taken on the challenge of deepening their understanding of the farm’s unique terror and implementing the best sustainability practices in agriculture. Their mission is to ensure environmentally responsible management while developing differentiated, high-quality cup profiles.

This coffee i mainly bought for espresso because i find it super super sweet and wanted to have something similar (still light roast profile) that is affordable and also tasty. So i would recommend that one for those who like sweet shot but still prefer light roast.
