Espresso Roast

a natural processed coffee that’s both expressive and well-structured. produced from carefully selected Caturra cherries, Natural Guamo begins with a 36-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation in GrainPro bags -  an oxygen-free environment that sets the stage for amplified fruit intensity and complexity. the cherries then undergo a 96-hour controlled fermentation in hermetic tanks under shade at 23°C, enhancing sweetness, acidity, and structure.

after fermentation, the coffee is mechanically dried over seven days with carefully timed rest intervals. a 30-day resting period in GrainPro bags follows, allowing the profile to fully integrate.

the result is a fruit-forward, layered cup with juicy berry notes, tropical fruits, and a bright, clean acidity reminiscent of red apple. all of this is underpinned by a velvety cocoa note reminiscent of pain au chocolat, with a sweetness reminiscent of tropical fruits. the cup is well-bodied, vibrant, and beautifully balanced from start to finish.

resting our coffees

cafēn coffees are roasted to order. in the days that follow, freshly roasted coffee continues to evolve. as carbon dioxide gradually releases, the coffee begins to truly open up - harsh, roasty, or astringent notes soften, allowing a sweeter, cleaner, and more expressive cup to emerge.

resting gives the coffee space for its true character to shine.

we recommend resting our coffees for at least 14 days after the roast date. denser or high-elevation lots often reach their peak between 3 to 6 weeks.

producer 

located in Fresno, Tolima, El Vergel Estate is a progressive, family-run farm known for its precision processing and collaborative approach with surrounding producers. Natural Guamo is the result of that collaboration - a carefully executed lot using controlled fermentation to showcase the best of the Caturra variety.

as climate pressures grow, El Vergel is not only focused on quality but on sustainability, helping to protect the future of coffee in the region.

a special project

the Reforest Project is El Vergel’s long-term commitment to climate resilience. in response to increasingly severe droughts and ecological strain, the initiative aims to plant 17,000 native trees across northern Tolima and southern Caldas.

it began with 200 trees planted on the farms of 30 local coffee producers near El Vergel with the goal of restoring biodiversity, improving soil health, and preserving the region’s coffee heritage.

by supporting coffees like Natural Guamo, you’re directly contributing to a more sustainable and climate-resilient future for Colombian coffee.
