Description
Lemon, brown sugar, tangerine, buttery caramel.
This coffee is special to us not just because it’s really good, but also because it was produced by the family of the rep who’s been hooking us up with many of the really interesting, unique and high end beans that have been available lately.
Producers Jesús Bedoya and Ángela Castaño approach coffee with care and sustainability. Their harvest and processing highlight elegant, sweet, and balanced profiles, always adapting to climate and environmental conditions.
From Bedoya: The harvest is meticulous and and takes place in two phases. The first ensures optimal picking, followed by a second round to verify cherry ripeness. We measure Brix levels and, depending on the climate, choose the most suitable processing method.
We have a small processing unit. Last year, we processed 80% as natural and 20% as honey and washed. Due to heavy rainfall, we expanded our drying beds. Our goal is to soon implement eco-friendly, waterless pulping.
We adapt our methods based on climate and coffee variety. All our varietals are washed, with Pink and Red Bourbon standing out in this method. These coffees offer the elegant profile of a classic Colombian washed—refined, sweet, and full-bodied, with notes reminiscent of liqueur and dried fruit.
Cherries undergo light fermentation for 24 hours before being rinsed, minimizing water use. At this stage, natural sugar breakdown makes mucilage removal easier, enhancing flavor clarity and balance.
