We don’t often release co-fermented coffees, but this one was so delicious that we couldn’t miss out! Complex and elegant, this lot is fermented with star anise to give a subtle, spicy character. This is nicely balanced with fruit notes of peach, ripe berries and floral notes like chamomile and jasmine.
The Story
Although Wilder grew up on his mum and dads farm, El Diviso, he has only been working as a producer since 2017, which is amazing considering the world class coffees that they are producing! Like many young people that grow up on coffee farms, Wilder left to get a degree and work in the city and up until recently he had a career as a vet and worked with some of the best horse breeding farms in Colombia! However, after visiting his family farm in 2017, he saw that they were struggling financially and decided to change career and take El Diviso in a new direction, with specialty coffee. With his training in genetics and love for learning, he set up a coffee variety program in the local town of Tocora and has been experimenting with fermentation and processing to elevate the cup quality and character. The family now have a four small farms and produce a wide range of exotic varieties and experimental processes and their coffees have already featured multiple times in coffee competitions!
