Altitude: 1800 MASL
Preparation: Washed
Location: Alto Waterloo, Chapparal, Tolima, Colombia
Variety: Pink Bourbon
Profile: Grenadine, Candied Redcurrant, Red Apple
Rodrigo Oyuela has long been regarded as a great leader in the Cañón de las Hermosas area. In this case, the Pink Bourbon seeds he planted came from Acevedo, Huila. His farm covers 33.5 hectares, with 8 hectares planted with coffee, mainly Pink Bourbon, Castillo, and Colombia varieties. In total, he has 38,000 trees. After harvesting, the cherries undergo an oxidation process for 12–14 hours, depending on the weather. He then uses a pulping machine equipped with a mucilage remover (demucilager). Instead of discarding the by-products, Rodrigo collects all the mucilage and honey-water from the pulping process and ferments the coffee in GrainPro bags with this mixture for 22 hours. Finally, the coffee is washed twice with clean water. Rodrigo emphasises the importance of slow drying. He dries his coffee in a Casa-Elda (a house with a sliding roof) for approximately 10–15 days. If the sun is too intense, he closes the roof to maintain a slow and even drying process.
This beautiful, delicate coffee is one for the filter coffee enthusiasts. Clean, fruity and bright with beautiful redcurrant and apple notes. We really think this shines on manual filter brewing methods like V60, chemex or Kalita wave

“Strange light shimmering over the sea tonight
And it almost blows my mind and as I look to the stars
I remember the time I knew a girl from Mars
I don’t know if you knew that
Oh, we’d stay up late playing cards, Henri Winterman cigars
Though she never told me her name
I still love you, the girl from Mars”
