Producer overview

Wilton Benitez sources coffee from the Cauca region of Colombia, operating at high altitudes ranging from 1600 to 2200 meters. This geographic context provides the foundation for the diverse agricultural output associated with the producer's lots in the index.

The varietal landscape features a wide selection of cultivars, led by Red Bourbon, Pink Bourbon, Castillo, and Caturra. The catalog also includes notable representations of Sudan Rume and Geisha varieties across various offerings.

Processing methods show a strong emphasis on experimental and controlled fermentations. The portfolio spans experimental treatments, anaerobic washed, standard washed, anaerobic natural, and natural processes.

The catalog footprint includes 57 total coffees represented in the index, with 16 currently in stock and 24 different roasters carrying these lots.

Recent catalog examples highlight the range of collaborations and preparations available. These include a multi-varietal washed lot featured by 94 Celcius, a Castillo lot roasted by Traffic Coffee, a Washed Thermoshock Caturra from Wide Open Road, a Sudan Rume processed experimentally for Glitch Coffee and Roasters, an anaerobic natural decaf Red Bourbon from Rogue Wave Coffee, and an experimental Red Bourbon offered by JBC Coffee Roasters.
