Caturra Washed Colombian Coffee: Roasted Record x Unblended Direct-Trade Collaboration
Direct, Fair-Trade Coffee Roasting Notes
This washed Caturra coffee from Duverney Arias has deep roots—it comes from his grandfather, who has been working the same farm for over 70 years. It’s likely one of the oldest Caturra lots in the area, which makes it something truly unique.
The coffee is processed in small batches to maintain quality and allow for a larger total volume. After the cherries are depulped, the beans are fermented for seven days. On Friday, they’re carefully washed, then laid out to sun-dry for two to three weeks.
The result? A beautifully sweet cup with floral notes and a smooth touch of white chocolate—an outstanding expression of both tradition and craft.

About the Roasted Record x Unblended Collaboration
The Roasted Record is a proud Unblended coffee roaster partner. Unblended supports young coffee producers in Colombia by providing funding, education, and resources for sustainable coffee farming. Then, Unblended imports young producers’ coffee beans directly to The Roasted Record. We use artisanal roasting methods to bring out the best flavors from these best-in-class coffee beans.
Most coffees marketed as “sustainable” are from the same major coffee producers. For a truly sustainable coffee industry, we need to spread the knowledge and purchasing power. The Roasted Record x Unblended’s goal is to develop more coffee producers rather than just supporting established ones. That is how we create more quality and creative coffee from thriving coffee farmers.
When you purchase The Roasted Record x Unblended Coffee, you support up-and-coming Colombian coffee farmers and the development of a fair and ethical coffee industry.
About the Colombian Coffee Producer: Arias Duverney and El Paraíso Coffee Farm
Duverney grew up, like so many in Colombia, with coffee farms as the backdrop of his childhood. Determined to chart his own course, he left home at a young age and dedicated himself to the challenging work of land demining across the country. At 26, he made the decision to return to his hometown of Sonson—drawn back by the desire to be near his family and to create a more peaceful life.
Today, Duverney works side by side with his brothers on the family farm, driven by a shared goal: to bring their coffee into a more stable and sustainable market. For the past two years, he’s been immersing himself in the world of specialty coffee, learning everything he can, step by step. After years spent in regions marked by conflict, his biggest dream is to help build a safer Colombia—one where more people can earn an honest, dignified living from the land they love.
