Juicy, generous and unmistakably red-fruited. This natural Castillo from Peñas Blancas brings together the brightness of cherry juice, the soft sweetness of ripe plum and the deeper, almost vinous character of red grape. There’s plenty of fruit here, but it stays beautifully composed - sweet, round and incredibly easy to come back to.

Roaster’s Description

Colombia Peñas Blancas Castillo is a single-origin coffee from Colombia, grown in the Huila region and produced by Nestor Lasso and Johan Vergara at Peñas Blancas Estate. Made entirely from the Castillo variety and naturally processed, Meron describes the cup through notes of cherry juice, plum and red grape. The coffee is handpicked, carefully selected and roasted to highlight the characteristics of its origin and processing.

Brew It Right

All coffees are sold exclusively as whole beans.

Grinding just before brewing preserves aromatics, structure, and clarity in the cup. For that reason, JONNY does not offer pre-ground coffee.

If you don’t yet own a grinder, consider this your sign. A proper grinder will elevate your coffee more than almost any other tool. (You’ll find a curated selection of hand grinders here.)

In the meantime, make friends with your local barista and ask them to grind the beans for your preferred brew method. They’ll understand.

Freshness, With Intention

Every coffee lists its roast date. I am committed to offering beans at their optimal drinking window. Freshly roasted coffee needs time to rest:

• Filter coffee is typically best starting 7 days after roast.

• Espresso benefits from 10–14 days of rest for balance and stability.

Coffee remains vibrant for several months when stored properly, but for peak clarity and sweetness, I recommend enjoying it within 4 months of the roast date. To maintain high standards:

• Coffees that reach 6 weeks from roast are offered at a reduced price.

• Coffees that reach 12 weeks from roast are removed from inventory.

This ensures that what arrives at your door reflects the level of quality I stand behind.

Coffee Orders

All coffee sales are final. Due to the perishable nature of roasted coffee, returns and refunds are not accepted.

That said, if there is a mistake with your order or your coffee arrives damaged, please email ciao@jonnyroma.com with:

• Your order number

• A brief description of the issue

• Clear photos of the package and product

Any issue will be reviewed carefully and handled as quickly as possible.
