Story
We don’t mind being your hub for extraordinary and elegant flavours. When we first considered bringing in Jairo Arcila’s coffees last year, we had no idea they would become our most requested offerings.
We took a leap of faith, introducing them to Toronto without knowing how the market would react. Today, they’re not only one of our top sellers in Canada but are also celebrated worldwide. Their complexity pairs seamlessly with our team’s holistic approach to coffee and roasting—together, bringing out the very best these coffees have to offer.
This exceptional collaboration between Jairo and évery promises an unforgettable tasting experience.
We want to do something fun, and so we’re launching Jairo Arcila Fall Signature Collection, featuring two unique profiles:
A honey-processed Pink Bourbon, anaerobically fermented with rose tea
A washed Castillo, anaerobically fermented with green apple

Washed, anaerobic fermentation with wine yeast and green Apple
For this lot, only the ripest cherries were harvested. The cherries are transported to Cofinet's La Pradera processing center in grain pro bags or special tanks to preserve their freshness.
Once cherries arrive in La Pradera, the cherries are floated in water tanks to remove any low-density beans or foreign materials. The water used in this stage is recycled for additional batches and, once no longer suitable for use, is filtered through a series of specialized tanks before being irrigated into vetiver grass beds and released as oxygen.
This sustainable filtration system ensures that no contaminated water is discharged, maintaining Cofinet's commitment to environmentally friendly practices. Then, the cherries undergo a dry anaerobic 48-hour fermentation, during which green apples and wine yeast are added. The green apples add their crisp acidity and refreshing fruitiness to the coffee, while the wine yeast enhances the fermentation process, producing aromatic compounds that add depth and vibrancy. This combination creates a lively and layered flavour profile, with notes of juicy green apple, white wine-like brightness, and a delicate sweetness.
Following fermentation, the cherries are pulped and thoroughly washed to remove the mucilage. The wastewater generated during the washed process is then treated using a green filtration system. This system filters the water through a series of specialized tanks before irrigating it into vetiver grass beds. Through this natural filtration process, the water is purified and released as oxygen. As a result, no contaminated water is discharged from the processing center, ensuring an environmentally sustainable operation.
Once coffee beans are washed, they are spread out in Cofinet's elbas drying station. The cherries are carefully monitored and turned regularly to ensure uniform drying and to prevent overfermentation or mould.
Drying continues until the cherries reach an ideal moisture content of 9.5%–11%.

Honey, dry anaerobic fermentation with roses
For this lot, only the ripest cherries were harvested. The cherries are transported to Cofinet’s La Pradera processing center in grain pro bags or special tanks to preserve their freshness. Once cherries arrive in La Pradera, the cherries are floated in water tanks to remove any low-density beans or foreign materials. The water used in this stage is recycled for additional batches and, once no longer suitable for use, is filtered through a series of specialized tanks before being irrigated into vetiver grass beds and released as oxygen. This sustainable filtration system ensures that no contaminated water is discharged, maintaining Cofinet’s commitment to environmentally friendly practices. Then, the cherries undergo a dry anaerobic fermentation process for 72 hours with the pulp on. During this stage, smashed roses are added. Smashed roses contribute to the delicate profile with their natural components. Their intense floral essence creates a structure and depth reminiscent of rose tea.
Following fermentation, the cherries are pulped to remove the outer skin while leaving the mucilage intact. This sticky, honey-like layer is what gives the Honey process its name and contributes to the coffee’s sweetness and body. The pulped cherries are then spread out in Cofinet’s elbas drying station. The cherries are carefully monitored and turned regularly to ensure uniform drying and to prevent over-fermentation or mould. Drying continues until the cherries reach an ideal moisture content of 9.5% –11%.

Jairo Arcila is a third-generation coffee grower from Quindio, Colombia. He is married to Luz Helena Salazar and they have two children together, Carlos and Felipe Arcila, who are the co- founders of Cofinet.
Jairo’s first job was at Colombia’s second-largest exporter, working as their Mill Manager for over 40 years until his retirement in 2019. Jairo bought his first coffee farm, Finca La
Esmeralda, in 1987 and this is where he planted his first Caturra lot. He was fortunate enough to earn money by producing coffee on his farm in addition to working full time.
Using his savings, Jairo slowly managed to purchase five additional farms. After Esmeralda came Villarazo, Mazatlan, Santa Monica, Maracay and then Buenos Aires. During the harvest period, Jairo is able to provide a number of jobs to locals which has a significant
economic impact on their community.
Jairo has received great advice and guidance from his sons who are now experts in producing Specialty Coffee. With their help, Jairo has greatly improved the picking, sorting, and processing of his coffees. His sons have also guided Jairo in the production of exotic varieties. He now grows varieties like Pink Bourbon, Java, Papayo ,and Gesha growing across all his farms.
The guidance from his sons has empowered Jairo and given him the tools needed to produce fantastic coffees with amazing flavour profiles.
Besides coffee, Jairo also grows other agricultural products on his farms such as mandarin, orange, plantain, and banana. Jairo enjoys starting the day with a really good breakfast! But most importantly, he enjoys spending time with his family.
