Colombia - Tablon De Gomez

With this years fresh crop of the Tablon De Gomez, we have decided to roast it as a filter coffee. This was our first espresso release back when Lucid opened in June 2022, it's great to have it back again, with classic flavours and even better quality, This Washed process coffee comes from the Narino region of Colombia by way of the importer Cofinet.

• Varieties:

Castillo and Caturra mix:

Caturra

This variety originates from Minas Gerais in Brazil. It was a natural mutation of Red Bourbon, Caturra is favoured as it is a high yielding plant (more cherries per tree) and is more resistant to plant diseases than that of Bourbon.

Castillo

Castillo and its sub cultivars are higher yield, resistance to leaf rust and other diseases common in Latin America. The cherries of Castillo plants are also slightly larger and display more resistance to pests and insects such as the coffee borer beetle (broca) Castillo is a ‘dwarfed’ tree that can be planted in high density (tighter groups), meaning a farmer can increase their yields per hectare.

******************************************************

• Process:

The coffee is floated and sorted before being pupled and washed to remove all the cherry and muscilage. The parchment is then placed on patios to dry over the course of 20 to 25 days.
