Colombia El Rincon Speciality Coffee - Diego Horta

Varietal: Castillo.
Region: Caldas, Colombia.
Altitude: 1,700 m

Hidden in the lush hills of Caldas, Colombia, Finca El Rincón produces a natural Castillo that reflects both youthful ambition and deep-rooted tradition. This lot is crafted by Diego Horta, a third-generation grower who took over the family farm at just twenty, determined to push Colombian coffee forward with cleaner, more expressive natural processing.

From its first aroma, this coffee is bright and inviting. The cup opens with fresh strawberry tones and apricot sweetness, followed by layers of ripe stone fruit and delicate berry character. As it cools, a soft citrus lift appears — a gentle lemon sparkle that brings balance and refreshment to the natural sweetness.

The texture is smooth and juicy, carrying fruit notes effortlessly while finishing crisp and refined. It’s the kind of natural that feels polished rather than wild — the result of careful drying, thoughtful fermentation, and years of Diego’s experimentation to achieve clarity without losing vibrancy.

Grown at 1700 MASL and sorted with precision before export, this lot stands out for its clean profile, structured sweetness, and elegant acidity. Each roast is designed to highlight transparency and fruit purity, letting the coffee’s origin and process speak for themselves.

A standout Colombian natural: charming, lively, and crafted with intention from farm to cup.
