Product Story:
El Jaragual is a 150-hectare family-owned farm managed by Jorge Mira, located at 1,550 meters above sea level in the Amalfi municipality of Antioquia, Colombia. Nestled in the northern section of the central spine of the Colombian Andes, this region is ideal for cultivating high-quality coffee.
The majority of El Jaragual is planted with a mix of forestry, thanks to Jorge’s background as a forestry engineer. The farm boasts sustainable timber pine forest plantations alongside protected plots of native forest. Currently, El Jaragual cultivates seven coffee varieties under plantain shade trees, ranging from the classic Castillo/Colombia to Pink Bourbon and Gesha, with plans to introduce Typica Mejorado and Sidra cultivars.
Jorge Mira employs a meticulous and innovative processing method at El Jaragual, combining traditional and modern techniques. Extended fermentation with yeast inoculation, along with thermal control methods such as hot water washes and cold water crashes, enhances and stabilizes the secondary aromas developed during fermentation. This approach bridges classic processing styles with contemporary advancements, ensuring a unique and high-quality coffee experience.
