Gold Series - Colombia Honey Caturron

Our Gold Series of coffees feature premium, limited-edition offerings that represent the truly special side of coffee. We purchase small amounts of ones that we find unique and interesting, and we roast them until they're sold out. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Caturron is a rare coffee variety unique to Colombia, a mutation of Caturra that has garnered attention for its distinct flavor profile. This one, from Finca Villa Betulia in Huila, is complex: It has an herbal element (think mint) coupled with notes of black cherry and chai tea-like spices.

Luis Anibal Calderon at Finca Villa Betulia, situated about a mile above sea level, has earned a reputation for producing high-quality coffee. He has preserved his father's coffee-growing legacy and is now co-managing the family estate with his son, Yeison.

Adding to this coffee's uniqueness is the fact that it underwent two 50-hour fermentations and is honey processed — a compromise between the more traditional washed and natural processing methods.
