Baked plum & wildflower honey

Origin: Acevedo, Huila, Colombia Process: Washed (Double Ferment) Variety: Castillo Producer: Aley Calderón Altitude: 1600m

An exquisite and vibrant coffee produced by Aley Calderón at Finca Villa Betulia. Following in the footsteps of his father, the renowned Luis Aníbal, Aeley represents the next generation of a family legacy dedicated to rare varieties and experimental craft.

This lot is washed with a double fermentation, producing a cup that balances traditional Colombian richness with a modern, jammy complexity. The sweetness of stewed plums combine with aromatic florals, before finishing with a silky, chocolate mouthfeel that lingers long after the final sip.

Villa Betulia, sourced from producer Aley Calderón in Acevedo, Huila, showcases the Castillo varietal at 1600 meters elevation. Maude Coffee has processed this lot via double fermentation, a technique that can deepen fruit character and complexity in washed coffees. The cup reveals baked plum and stewed plums alongside wildflower honey and aromatic florals—a profile that balances stone fruit depth with floral brightness, anchored by subtle chocolate notes. This combination suggests the washed fermentation has drawn out both the fruit-forward and delicate aromatic qualities the varietal and terroir can offer.
