Flavour

The Castillo coffee variety is celebrated for its intriguing flavour profile, which combines a delightful balance of acidity and sweetness. When brewed, it offers a medium to full body, accompanied by hints of caramel and chocolate notes. Its vibrant acidity brings a touch of citrusy brightness, making it a favourite among coffee enthusiasts seeking a harmonious blend of flavours. The Castillo variety's unique taste profile makes it a versatile choice, ideal for both espresso lovers appreciating a rich, layered experience and those who prefer their coffee with a splash of milk, where its inherent sweetness shines through.

Terrior

Castillo coffee plants exhibit remarkable resilience, thriving in a variety of soil types. However, they particularly flourish in well-drained soils rich in organic matter. These plants are often found nestled in the foothills of mountainous regions, where the altitude contributes to the slow ripening of cherries, enhancing their flavours. The synergy between the soil composition and the geographical features of these regions imparts unique characteristics to the Castillo beans, making them distinctive and sought after in the coffee market.
