Description
Bright florals, Grapefruit Brulee, Condensed Milk. Nice sweet body.
This coffee comes from Jose Giraldo’s processing center at El Danubio, where he applies his science and techniques to some of the finest Pink Bourbon cherries grown in Huila
The coffee cherries are rinsed and placed into an anaerobic chamber for 24 hours. The next day, the cherries are pulped and placed back into the anaerobic chamber for 24 hours. Then, the coffees are washed and placed back into the anaerobic chamber for 24 hours. Finally, they’re washed and placed out to dry on raised beds until achieving the desired moisture and water activity, which usually takes up to three weeks.
The resulting cup is some of the finest expression of the pink bourbon variety that we have found. Bright florals, crisp acidity and a lingering, bodied sweetness that keeps drinkers coming back for more.
Las MarÃas Estate is the third-generation legacy of José who transformed his family’s farm from commercial coffee production into a hub of genetic research and ultra-specialty coffee innovation. Working alongside his wife, MarÃa Rivera, José has spent the last decade refining every aspect of cultivation and processing to produce competition-grade coffees that have captured the attention of baristas, roasters, and coffee enthusiasts worldwide.
He has switched up everything: varieties, fermentation protocols, drying protocols, cupping protocols and more, including the establishment of Finca Las Marias much farther up in the mountains, where he began to focus the majority of his coffee cultivation. The results started pouring in almost immediately, building a reputation for exceptional quality, and supplying over 50 buyers in 25 countries with some of Colombia’s most prestigious coffees. Many of its microlots have been selected for international barista and roasting competitions, a testament to their extraordinary flavor depth, balance, and complexity.
