La Llama Caturra

This lot is the second coffee we will be releasing from this farm and it’s a classic well balanced Caturra. Expect a cup with lots of stone fruit, high sweetness and a chocolatey finish. Something totaly different from the Geisha lot.

La Llama is perched at an impressive 1,650 meters above sea level, making it the highest farm among those managed by Los Rodriguez. This elevation creates an ideal environment for coffee cultivation, with daytime temperatures that are mild and nighttime temperatures that are significantly cooler. These conditions slow down the maturation of the coffee cherries, allowing sugars to develop more fully. The result is a sweeter, more flavorful coffee bean that reflects the care and patience invested in the process. 

Adding to the farm’s unique atmosphere, a mystical fog often rolls in during the early mornings and late afternoons, blanketing the exotic coffee varieties. This fog is a product of the farm’s distinct microclimate, where shifting temperatures and mineral-rich soil provide the perfect balance for healthy and productive coffee plants.
