El Vergel Colombia – Mosto-Processed Coffee
Sourced from the renowned El Vergel Estate in Fresno, Tolima, Colombia, this Mosto-Processed coffee is a testament to the Bayter Family’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of coffee fermentation. Originally an avocado farm, El Vergel transitioned into a specialty coffee powerhouse, pioneering experimental processes that enhance both quality and complexity.
This lot undergoes an innovative 72-hour anaerobic fermentation using lixiviates (mosto)—a byproduct from Java coffee fermentation that enriches the coffee’s depth and character. After fermentation, the beans are meticulously dried in two stages: mechanical drying in silos for 2–4 days to prevent over-fermentation, followed by an 18-day sun drying phase to develop clarity and structure in the cup. A final 30-day stabilization in GrainPro bags ensures a clean, well-rounded profile.
Driven by their passion for coffee and innovation, Martha Montenegro, Elias, and Shady Bayter continue to refine their craft, integrating technology, sustainability, and tradition to create coffee that is both unique and memorable.
