Jose Palomino Tineo – Typica – Washed

This lot was produced by José Palomino, nicknamed “The Guardian of Coffee from San Felipe”.

In the far reaches of Jaén, in the small town of San Felipe, lives José Palomino, a producer who  found in coffee not just a crop, but a legacy for his family. His land, blessed with a dry climate and fertile soil, has become the perfect setting to cultivate beans of exceptional quality. Together with his family, José does not settle for simply producing: he innovates, experiments,  and refines processes every year with a single purpose: to achieve excellence in every cup of coffee he offers the world.

Coffee Processing

The washing process for this microlot starts by selectively harvesting all ripe beans. The cherries are fermented in tanks for 48 hours for a greater concentration of sweetness, and then  move on to the pulping process. After pulping they are dried on African beds for at least 168 hours using ambient temperature.
