Colombia Excelso Selecto Femenino EP Washed: Precision, Clarity & Women-Led Excellence
From the high-altitude coffee landscapes of Colombia, this Excelso Selecto Femenino EP Washed lot represents both quality craftsmanship and the strength of women producers. “Femenino” highlights coffee cultivated and managed by women-led farms or producer groups, while EP (European Preparation) indicates meticulous hand-sorting to remove defects for exceptional export quality.
Graded Excelso (Screen 15/16), this lot offers uniformity, balance, and the clean structure Colombia is globally celebrated for.
Process: Fully washed—cherries are pulped, fermented, washed clean, and dried with care. This method enhances clarity, vibrant acidity, and transparent sweetness in the cup.
Altitude: Typically 1,400–2,000 masl, where cooler temperatures slow cherry maturation and build refined flavour complexity.
Harvest & Processing: Selective hand-picking ensures only ripe cherries are harvested. After controlled fermentation, beans are thoroughly washed and dried on patios or in mechanical dryers, then carefully hand-sorted to meet EP standards.
