Producer and Region

This coffee was produced by Jhoan Vergara at Finca Las Flores in Huila, Colombia. Located at 1,750 meters above sea level, Finca Las Flores is a model of innovation. The farm is renowned for its experimental approach, which includes advanced agricultural practices and fermentation and drying techniques.

Cultivation and Processing

Jhoan Vergara, alongside his family, has cultivated a variety of coffee crops, including Java, Pink Bourbon, Maracaturra, Chiroso, Tabi, and Bourbon Sidra. This particular lot comes from a batch of Java, known for its distinctive, complex profile. The cherries undergo a unique fermentation process, where they are oxidised in cherry for 24 hours, followed by 60 hours of fermentation in the cherry, then washed with thermal shock using water at 55°C to wash off bacterial load. Afterward, the coffee is dried in dehumidifying machines for 50 hours, ensuring consistency and a precise flavour profile.

Flavour

We found lychee, melon, and thyme, supported by a silky and velvety mouthfeel. The profile is a playful mix of herbal and tropical notes. Flavour-rich yet clean and transparent.
