Colombia Selva Negra

Description

Andrés, a third-generation farmer, strives to produce high quality coffee using both conventional and new ways. Extensive research and experimentation prioritize quality for each variety. The location is above a slope in the Central Andes mountain range, around 1950 meters above sea level. The farm has seven coffee varieties: Caturra, Castillo, Maragogipe, Red and Yellow Bourbon, Gesha, and Tabi, each planted in micro-lots. The farm’s administrator, Jorge Isaza, oversees coffee production from seed acquisition tom threshing.

Bourbon, originating in Yemen, is a well-known specialty coffee brand. Years of research led to successful adaptation to different terroirs. Micro-lots of red, yellow, and pink bourbon at elevations ranging from 1680 to 1830 MASL. yielded optimal results. Red Bourbon features aromas of red berries and sweet spices, with great acidity and sweetness. Yellow Bourbon is bright and tropical. This micro-lot of bourbon is produced naturally using anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock for 162 hours. Temperature and pH are continuously monitored to preserve ideal fermentation conditions while applying thermal shocks. They take good care of the drying processes and the storage/stabilization step for a longer shelf life.
