Jairo Arcila, Cherry

For the past six years, we've loved sharing coffees from Jairo Arcila. At his farm, Villarazo, in Colombia, Jairo has built a reputation for producing coffees that are creative, approachable, and full of personality. Whether he's working with classic washed coffees or exploring more experimental processing, his attention to detail always shines through.

This lot is a great example of that spirit. Using a carefully managed cherry co-fermentation, Jairo and his team develop vibrant fruit character while preserving sweetness and a floral clarity. It's an inventive approach that yields expressive, flavour-packed cups with remarkable balance.

Castillo is one of Colombia's most widely grown coffee varieties, prized for its consistency and versatility. In Jairo's hands, it becomes a canvas for creativity, resulting in a coffee that's bright, juicy, and full of playful fruit character.
