Bean Grading
“Excelso” is the common grading term for exportable coffee from Colombia – it is not related to the varietal or to the cupping profile.
Colombian coffee is graded according to bean size: Supremo and Excelso beans are harvested from the same coffee trees, but they are sorted by size. Excelso coffee beans are large, but slightly smaller than Supremo coffee beans with a 15/16 screen size compared to 17/18 for Supremo Excelso accounts for the greatest volume of coffee exported from Colombia
we love this bean its clean simple and it just works on multiple roast profiles
Red apple, Raspberry, Milk chocolate, blueberry, red grape, Almond, caramel
Regional Lots
This coffee comes from the region of Cauca in the south of Colombia. Cauca is relatively flat when looking at other Colombian growing regions, which means the coffee produced benefits from more consistent conditions. Wilton’s regional lots are a mixed harvest from farmers nearby Granja Paraiso 92. Wilton sources freshly harvested coffee cherries from farmers. He then brings the cherries to his processing facility near a town called Piendamo, where he generally ferments the coffee for 36 hours. The coffee is depulped, washed and dried in his state of the art facility. Far More requested that Wilton produce a higher volume coffee with a more accessible price point, and more broadly appreciated tasting notes – his regional series is the result of discussion and testing mainly from 2021-2023, though feedback is always being passed along.
Wilton Benitez is a Colombian coffee producer with over 26 years of experience in coffee cultivation and 16 years specializing in high-quality, exotic specialty coffee.
