Description
Trace Origin Castillo Diofanor
Every trace origin coffee from Cirelli Coffee Roasting Co takes you on a journey. Like a fine wine, coffee can transport you to the place where it was grown. Diofanor takes you high into the lush Andes, to the slopes of La Promesa in Buenavista, Colombia, where volcanic soils, tropical rainforest, and perfect altitude create coffee magic.
Diofanor Ruiz, a passionate multi-generational grower, cultivates 100% Castillo variety coffee trees without chemicals. His meticulous honey process transforms every bean into a vibrant sensory experience. The cherries ferment in ceramic vats for 12 hours, then the thin fruit layer dries for 10–15 days on raised patios, allowing natural sugars to infuse the bean. As a result, every sip bursts with complexity, balance, and natural sweetness.
Flavour Profile: Expect bright, juicy apricot notes layered with creamy milk chocolate and delicate floral undertones. Light roasting highlights these nuanced flavours, producing a clean, crisp cup with subtle sweetness and a silky body.
Brew Recommendations:
-
Filter / Pour-Over / Moccamaster: Unlock the full spectrum of apricot, honeyed sweetness, and floral aromatics. The clarity is vibrant, with a long, clean finish.
-
Light Espresso or Short Black (for experimental lovers): Smooth and refined, though best savoured gently to appreciate the delicate honeyed tones.
Ideal Rest Time After Roasting
☕ Best resting period:
12–16 days after roast
Because Diofanor coffee is light roasted and honey processed, it holds more trapped CO₂ and sugars. Resting allows clarity, sweetness, and balance to emerge.

Brew Method Timing Guide
