Jairo Arcila, a third-generation grower, bought his first farm in 1987 and now farms six; he managed the mill of one of Colombia's largest exporters until he retired in 2019. His sons Carlos and Felipe founded the exporter Cofinet in 2015, and this lot was processed at the family's La Pradera centre (1,270 m). Sources give the farm's altitude as 1,400–1,450 m (Parchmen \u0026amp; Co, Singapore) to 1,500 m (Onyx Coffee Lab).

DNA tests commissioned by Cafe Imports in 2017 and again in 2023 found an Ethiopian landrace instead. It is prized for its florals, bright citrus and high sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow It Was Processed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e72 h sealed with roses, then honey-dried\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBrewing Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter or pour-over, about 1:15–1:16 with water at 93 °C; it also pulls a bright, floral espresso.
