COLOMBIA
Finca El Recreo
Alirio Rodriguez has been producing coffee for more than 30 years. He is a third-generation coffee producer and, at the age of 15, bought his farm, Finca El Recreo. Since 2018, it has switched to speciality coffee production and focuses on achieving high quality.
The Caturron variety is a relatively new variety from Acevedo, Colombia, virtually unknown outside that region, but it is rapidly becoming recognised for its distinctive flavour, large cherry and resistance to leaf rust, which enables it to cope better with climate change and its effect on flowering and harvest.
Once the red cherries have been picked, Alirio lays them on raised beds to dry. The cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying.
