This washed coffee from Colombian producer Jairo Arcila introduces an experimental dimension through mango co-fermentation, a technique that intentionally incorporates fruit into the fermentation stage to influence the final cup profile. Castillo and Caturra varietals form the base, both well-suited to Colombian growing conditions. The resulting cup emphasizes stone and tropical fruit—mango and papaya—alongside floral notes, characteristics that emerge partly from the co-fermentation process and partly from the varietal and terroir foundation.

Co-fermented lots represent an intentional departure from standard washed processing, where controlled fruit contact shapes fermentation chemistry and ultimately cup expression. Monogram Coffee has roasted this lot to highlight those fermentation-driven flavors. This coffee exemplifies how processing innovation can expand a coffee's sensory range beyond what the origin and varietal alone might suggest.
