What Man versus Machine says about this coffee

The anaerobic natural process keeps the cherry intact throughout, creating an oxygen-restricted environment that coaxes out deep, fruit-forward complexity. The result is rich and expressive - banana, sour cherry, raisins and an easy enveloping sweetness.

Diego Horta grew up on his family’s farm and had been cultivating El Ricón since his early tewnties, building on three generations of knowledge. Driven to push quality, he expanded into speciality varieties and adopted innovative processing methods such as anaerobic and natural fermentation.

Sustainability runs through everything at El Rincón – plantains, avocados, yucca, and bananas grow alongside the coffee in a circular system that supports both the land and the farm’s long-term resilience. Backed by his family, Diego continues to innovate through collaboration and education, placing El Rincón at the forefront of Colombian specialty coffee.

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
