Rio Bamisa takes its name from the Bamisa river that runs adjacent to a small collection of farms on the rural lands outside of Acevedo, a town in the south-west department of Huila, Colombia.
One of Colombia’s most well-known growing regions, Huila is as close to perfection as it gets (for growing coffee); glaciers, volcanoes, grasslands, desserts, lakes, and forests – Huila has it all. The combination of sure diverse terroir leads to a unique cup profile, one that we can’t get enough of.
Catturón is a rare and recently discovered coffee variety. Currently, not really seen outside of Colombia, there is a lot we simply don’t know about it. There are, however, a few important things that are known – it’s genetically similar to Caturra, and offers high yields and strong resistance to leaf rust disease. It is thought to be a natural mutation of Caturra and a Timor hybrid (itself a mutation of arabica and robusta). The cup profile of Caturrón is a kaleidoscope of fruits like pineapple, raspberry, strawberry, and watermelon. This lot was processed as a natural, cherries were floated and separated by density, prior to drying on raised beds.
