About the farm:
El Jaragual is a 150-hectare family-run farm overseen by Jorge Mira, located at 1,500 MASL in Amalfi, Antioquia, in the northern part of Colombia’s Central Andes. The farm’s high elevation and mountain environment provide excellent conditions for producing high-quality coffee.
With Jorge’s background as a forestry engineer, much of El Jaragual is dedicated to sustainable forestry, combining pine plantations with protected areas of native forest. Coffee is grown alongside plantain and other native agroforestry species, with seven varieties currently cultivated on the farm.
El Jaragual uses carefully controlled processing methods, including extended fermentation with yeast inoculation and temperature adjustments. Warm-water rinses and cool-water quenching help enhance and stabilise the aromas developed during fermentation, creating a considered balance between traditional processing and modern techniques.
A standout coffee and a firm favourite from last year, this is one that really makes you stop and question what you’re actually smelling and tasting. With an incredibly unique aroma that hints at cannabis, it’s unlike anything else we’ve had in the cup.
