This coffee is sourced from the Bayter family, who began their agricultural journey at the El Vergel farm in 1995. After a sharp drop in the price of avocados in 2006, the Bayter’s mother, Martha, decided to diversify her crops and, in 2009, introduced the first coffee plants to El Vergel.

As the coffee market grew, so too did the Bayter’s interest in new and unique coffee varietals, pulping methods and fermentation techniques. In 2016 they began planting Geisha, Java, Pacamara and Laurina varietals; and in 2018, the farm was modernised to accommodate new experimental processing methods. The Bayters have since become pioneers of innovative new processing methods, carrying out exhaustive research on bacteria and yeasts to better control their coffee fermentation. Today, El Vergel has expanded to plant over twenty eight different coffee varietals, and are known for being the first coffee farm in Colombia to develop a koji fermentation processes.

This lot is a Red and Yellow Caturra varietal, naturally processed before being decaffeinated using naturally occurring ethyl acetate, sourced from Colombian sugarcane.
