In the cup
We taste fresh red fruits that remind us of raspberries and strawberries, a balanced sweetness reminiscent of candy floss, and delicate black tea. This coffee has a light body and a round finish.

About The Producer
Elder Castro Garcia is a coffee producer from the rural township of El Cerrito in La Plata. He has approximately 5,000 two to five-year-old trees per hectare, regularly growing Colombia, Geisha, Pink Bourbon, and Sidra varieties. He also grows avocados and sells them locally.

Processing
This Pink Bourbon micro lot is hand-selected and brought in from the field by local and itinerant pickers. They are then floated to remove any lower-density beans before being placed in plastic bags for 36 hours. They are then de-pulped fully and dry-fermented for another 40 hours. The coffee parchment is then rinsed and placed on raised beds in a parabolic greenhouse dryer for 15 to 20 days to dry.
