Castillo - Washed Espresso

Developed by Cenicafé as a rust‑resistant successor to Caturra, it is known for its reliable productivity and surprisingly bright, sweet cup when carefully cultivated. Expect clean acidity, gentle red‑fruit notes, and a smooth body. Its diverse regional lines—Naranjal, Paraguaicito, El Rosario—adapt well to different microclimates, making Castillo a cornerstone of modern Colombian coffee and a variety that balances resilience with genuinely enjoyable flavor.
