Andres' Red Sunset Semi Washed

Red Sunset, he called it. Andres Cardona’s Semi-Washed brilliance, is a result of his curiosity and desire to learn. This Castillo and Colombia varieties lot, grown at 1600 masl.

This submerged anaerobic fermentation makes a balanced and homogeneous cup with an outstanding aftertaste.
