It's layered and complex, but dry and effervescent, like a natural fermentation orange wine. Most pourovers we made have the sweetness of plum wine (umeshu) and hood strawberries, but the drying body of sparkling wine. It has a subtle herbal character on the linger that we associate with thyme. It makes for a surprisingly crisp and sparkly cup at slightly lower EY.

In the time we had all been in specialty coffee, none of us had ever had a fully washed Castillo. It was pretty mind boggling.

After giving up traditional spray chemical practice in 2014, they've found ways to curate fungi and microbial systems along with building healthy soil using vermiculture and compost  supported by their own dairy cows in order to create healthy and disease resistant crop.
