This is José’s traditional washed process—the same profile his family has been producing on the farm for generations, and the coffee through which we first met him in 2021, when he shared his vision of bringing his coffees to international markets and building a recognizable brand of his own. It is a process passed down through generations, shaped by years of experience and consistency. Yet because of José’s unique farm location and altitude, this washed lot develops a character that is distinctly his own, with a natural sweetness and bright mandarin-like notes that make it stand out.
