Francy Castillo

Francy Castillo produces coffee in the Nariño region of Colombia, operating at high altitudes ranging from 1800 to 2148 meters. This geographic positioning supports the cultivation of several distinct varietals across the catalog listings.

The varietal landscape features Pink Bourbon as the most prominent cultivar, alongside Caturra, Geisha, and other classified varieties. This mix allows for varied plantings across the producer's agricultural holdings.

Processing methods in the catalog are predominantly washed, complemented by natural, semi-washed, and honey preparations. The portfolio shows a strong emphasis on traditional washed profiles while incorporating alternative drying and processing styles.

The catalog footprint includes 10 total coffees represented in the index, with 1 lot currently in stock and 5 different roasters carrying offerings from this producer. Harvest and roasting representations span multiple roasters such as Zab Café, Rogue Wave Coffee, Hydrangea Coffee, and Ethica Coffee Roasters.

Recent catalog examples highlight distinct lot variations, including washed Pink Bourbon and Geisha blends from Zab Café, natural Pink Bourbon and Geisha lots from Rogue Wave Coffee, and single-variety offerings such as Hydrangea Coffee's washed and natural Pink Bourbon releases. Ethica Coffee Roasters and Zab Café also feature specific Caturra and regional project lots.

The work of Francy Castillo in the index is characterized by a diverse varietal selection anchored in Nariño, paired with a strong focus on washed processing methods.
