Producer overview
Wilton Benitez operates in the Cauca region of Colombia, where his coffee is cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1600 to 2100 meters. This geographic positioning provides the environmental conditions necessary for the diverse range of cultivars grown at his farm, Granja Paraiso 92.
The farm maintains a broad varietal landscape. While Red Bourbon, Pink Bourbon, Caturra, Castillo, and Orange Bourbon are primary crops, the catalog also notes the presence of several other varieties, including rare cultivars like Sudan Rume, Sidra, and SL28.
Benitez is known for an extensive process portfolio that emphasizes technical control. The catalog records a heavy focus on anaerobic treatments, specifically anaerobic washed and anaerobic natural methods. He also utilizes experimental processing techniques, alongside more traditional washed and natural preparations.
His work has received significant recognition within the industry. Benitez is a three-time Cup of Excellence finalist, placing first in 2021 with Pink Bourbon, fourth in 2022 with Sidra, and second in 2023 with Sudan Rume. Currently, 20 different roasters carry his coffee, with 45 total lots represented in the index.
Recent catalog entries illustrate this variety and process diversity. Examples include an anaerobic natural Orange Bourbon roasted by Inglewood Coffee Roasters, an anaerobic washed Ombligon processed lot from REC Coffee, and an anaerobic natural SL28 roasted by Black and White Coffee Roasters.
The work of Wilton Benitez is defined by a consistent application of experimental and anaerobic processing across a wide spectrum of coffee varieties.
