COLOMBIA WBP-00 CASTILLO | LIMITED EDITION 60g TIN

This lot comes from Wilton Benitez, a producer known for blending traditional Colombian farming with methodical fermentation techniques. Based at Finca El Paraíso-92 in Colombia, Wilton’s work spans diverse varietals and methods, applying his deep knowledge of fermentation from wine, beer and cheese production to coffee bringing clarity, structural integrity and unique flavour development to each lot.

Advanced washed process:

For his Castillo P-00, the process begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by the classification of cherries based on density and size. The cherries are sterilised using UV and ozone before undergoing a 48-hour fermentation process, where specific yeast strains are introduced to enhance fruity notes. After pulping, the coffee is washed and dried using controlled equipment at 40°C for 46 hours. This careful, science-driven process ensures the Castillo P-00 is not only flavour-forward but also consistently excellent, showcasing Wilton's dedication to pushing the boundaries of what coffee can be.

Colombian micro-lots like this Castillo benefit from traceable, producer-focused sourcing. Wilton Benitez applies scientific fermentation controls and quality rigor, optimising sugar, pH and processing variables — to elevate this washed Castillo beyond a base coffee and preserve more character potential.
