Grown on a sunlit 4.5-acre plot of mature Castillo trees, this lot was selectively hand-sorted before processing.
Ripe cherries underwent 2–3 days of open-tank oxidation. The cherries were then pulped to remove the mucilage, before undergoing four days of sealed fermentation with coffee mosto – sugars from previous fermentations – and panela, an unrefined whole cane sugar.
This controlled approach encourages a thorough fermentation while avoiding unwanted alcohol-like flavours.

Situated at 2000 metres above sea level in La Florida, Timaná, Cata Reserva spans 30 acres. Fifty percent of the farm is preserved as native forest, with the other half cultivated with traditional varieties including smaller lots of Pink Bourbon, Geisha and low-caffeine Laurina.
Originally owned and managed by Rodrigo Cortés, the farm was part of Cata Export’s producer network. Following Rodrigo’s retirement, the land was taken over by Cata founders Cat and Pierre to continue its legacy.
Seventeen hectares remain in production while the rest are undergoing renovation through selective replanting. The farm’s approach centres on understanding its unique terroir and applying sustainable, microbiology-driven practices to get the best out of their harvests.
