This coffee represents the clean, structured side of Café Belén Gualcho: high-altitude production, shade-grown cultivation, and a washed process that emphasizes clarity, brightness, and varietal character.
The coffee is grown under native pine and Inga canopy. The washed process removes the fruit before drying, producing a cup that is defined by the bean itself rather than fermentation character.
