Coconut Milk, Kumquat & Pineapple

This Finca Monteblanco Caturra, co-fermented with kumquat, is a true cocktail in a cup: creamy coconut milk, tart kumquat zest, and juicy pineapple evoke a Piña Colada, perfect for summer. The long fermentation enriches the flavors while preserving clarity and structure, and preparation in an Aeropress reveals its silky texture, unique fermentation, and aromatic intensity. Crazy Tropical Vibes.

Sustainability and impact

Finca Monteblanco adopts sustainable and innovative practices, combining local agronomic research with ecological management: the use of organic fertilizers, natural composting of coffee pulp, responsible water management during washing, and the maintenance of high biodiversity and vegetation cover on the plots. Rodrigo Sánchez also emphasizes ongoing training for the teams and responsible innovation to strengthen climate resilience and ensure the long-term viability of the terroir.

Fermentation process

After selecting the cherries, a fruity yeast and bacteria culture is prepared with kumquat, orange juice and sugar, then added to the de-pulped cherries for extended fermentation (~180h). The result: a coffee with intense tropical notes and a clean structure.
