Meticulously hand-picked.

La Molienda, a Castillo varietal cultivated by Benjamin Rivera at his farm in Colombia. Meticulously hand-picked and sorted, only the ripest cherries were selected, ensuring top quality.

Benjamin’s dedication has produced a coffee rich in forest fruits with a silky texture.
