Mango Co-Fermented Coffee

Tropical Innovation: Mango Co‑Fermented Coffee by Jairo Arcila

This Mango Co-Fermented Coffee from Jairo Arcila is a vibrant, fruit‑forward microlot produced at Finca Santa Mónica in Armenia, Quindío. Using a 48‑hour anaerobic fermentation with real mango pulp, this lot delivers a lush tropical profile with exceptional clarity and sweetness.  The cherries undergo a dry anaerobic 48‑hour fermentation… mango pulp is added to the fermentation tanks - creating a cup bursting with ripe mango, tropical fruits, caramel and mandarin.

The Process: Washed + Mango Co‑Ferment

This Santa Mónica Mango Co-Fermented Coffee showcases a meticulous, environmentally conscious workflow:

- Selective Harvesting – Only the ripest cherries are picked and transported in sealed bags to preserve freshness.

- 48‑Hour Anaerobic Mango Fermentation – Mango pulp is added during sealed‑tank fermentation, infusing the coffee with tropical sweetness and juicy character. Mango contributes to create a lively flavour profile, with notes of ripe mango, peach, and a delicate sweetness.

- Washed Process – After fermentation, cherries are pulped and thoroughly washed.

- Sustainable Water Filtration – Wastewater is filtered through specialised tanks and irrigated into vetiver grass beds, ensuring no contaminated water is released. This sustainable filtration system ensures that no contaminated water is discharged.

- 10‑Day Drying – Beans are dried on elbas patios until they reach 9.5–11% moisture for optimal stability. Drying continues until the cherries reach an ideal moisture content of 9.5%–11%.

Jairo Arcila's Mango Co-Fermented Coffee is bright, juicy and intensely aromatic — a perfect expression of fruit‑driven Colombian innovation.
