Description
The Roaster's Select Program program allows us the flexibility to explore beans which don't quite fit into our standard business model, such as experimental fermentations, rare varietals, limited sized lots, and expensive treats. These beans will be available in very limited quantity, only as whole bean, and to keep the price point down and give more people a chance to try them, they will only come in a smaller bags. Please bear in mind, I'm not telling you these beans are 3x as tasty or 3x the value as our normal beans, these should be regarded as something interesting to try, or a special treat. The only reason we have these is that Nick wants to play with fun beans. These will be prepared in very small quantities, and added to inventory as they become available. To receive alerts when beans are added to inventory, follow us on Twitter @swroasting #SWSmallBatchWhat's in the cup? This one is an odd combination of blackberry, farmhouse ale, and coconut. There is more wildness in this cup than most of the other coferms.Roast Color: 121.2 (higher is lighter)Roast Date: 3-30-26Castillo varietal grown by Jairo Arcila in Quindio, Honey process with yeast and macerated blackberries (read more below), dried on raised beds, 1450-1500 masl.

He is married to Luz Helena Salazar and they have two children together, Carlos and Felipe Arcila, who are the co-founders of Cofinet, our export partner for this coffee. Jairo’s first job was at Colombia’s second largest exporter, working as their Mill Manager for over 40 years until his retirement in 2019. Jairo bought his first coffee farm, Finca La Esmeralda, in 1987 and this is where he planted his first Caturra lot. He was fortunate enough to earn money by producing coffee on his farm in addition to working full time. Using his savings, Jairo slowly managed to purchase five additional farms. After Esmeralda came Villarazo, Mazatlan, Santa Mónica, Maracay, and then Buenos Aires. Now, during the harvest period, Jairo can provide jobs to the locals generating an economic impact in the community. He received great insight and expertise from his sons’ in the picking, sorting, and processing of his coffees. This insight has empowered Jairo and given him the tools needed to showcase fantastic coffees with amazing profiles from the region.
