Rosado - El Jaragual, Colombia
Raspberry • Papaya • Marshmallow

Grown by producer Jorge Mira at the family-run El Jaragual farm in Amalfi, Antioquia, this stunning Rosado lot follows in the footsteps of our most celebrated coffee of the year - returning with even more vibrancy, clarity and festive sweetness. Sitting at 1,500 MASL in the northern Colombian Andes, El Jaragual is a biodiverse 150-hectare landscape shaped by Jorge’s background as a forestry engineer, where sustainable pine plantations, protected native forest, and shaded agroforestry plots create the perfect environment for growing exceptional, high-character coffee.

This Rosado underwent a meticulous, multi-stage process to bring out its expressive profile: selective hand-harvesting at 90% ripeness, careful floating, controlled oxidation, warm and cold-temperature washes for thermal contrast, and a slow, measured drying phase before stabilisation in GrainPro. Every step is intentional, and you can taste that precision in the cup.

The result is a beautifully clean and fruit-forward coffee with bright raspberry acidity, juicy papaya sweetness, and a soft, nostalgic marshmallow finish that lingers like a dessert you don’t want to end. It’s playful yet refined - exactly the kind of coffee that showcases why Colombian Rosado has become one of the most exciting varieties in specialty coffee.

Perfect for UK home baristas seeking something elegant, modern, and unmistakably festive, this is a cup that rewards both curiosity and comfort. Whether you’re brewing on a V60, AeroPress, or filter machine, expect a joyful balance of ripe fruit, silky texture, and holiday-season charm.

A standout producer. A remarkable variety. A flavour profile worth savouring - this is Rosado at its finest.

Story

About El Jaragual

El Jaragual is a 150-hectare family farm run by producer Jorge Mira, set at 1,500 metres above sea level in Amalfi, Antioquia - right in the northern reaches of the central Colombian Andes, a region renowned for growing exceptional coffee. Jorge’s background as a forestry engineer shapes the entire landscape: much of the farm is intentionally devoted to sustainable pine plantations and protected native forest, creating a thriving, biodiverse environment where coffee and nature support each other beautifully. Among the shaded plots - surrounded by plantain trees and a mix of native agroforestry species - El Jaragual now cultivates seven coffee varieties, from dependable classics like Castillo and Colombia to vibrant exotics such as Pink Bourbon and Gesha. And with new plantings of Typica Mejorado, Sidra, Laurina, and Eugenoides now taking root, the farm continues to evolve, quietly shaping the future of truly standout Colombian coffee.

Processing

The journey begins with harvesting, where only the ripest cherries - at least 90% - are selected before moving straight into floating to gently remove any green, overripe, or dried fruit. The pristine cherries then rest for 24 hours of controlled oxidation in food-grade plastic drums, setting the foundation for clarity and sweetness, before being dry-pulped. Once pulped, the coffee undergoes a further 24 hours of oxidation to loosen and remove remaining mucilage, followed by a warm 45°C wash that delivers a deliberate thermal shock. From here, the coffee enters a carefully managed 36-hour fermentation below 25°C with a tailored yeast culture to build depth and structure, before being sealed with a final wash at 5°C. Still vibrant and aromatic, the coffee then moves into drying for 76 hours at an average temperature of 40°C, allowing the flavours to settle and concentrate slowly. Finally, the dried coffee rests in GrainPro bags for stabilisation - a quiet but essential pause that locks in the character developed throughout this meticulous process.
