This stunning coffee comes from one of the best coffee farms in Colombia and has an impressive cupping score of 90!
Don’t you just love a good coffee origin story? Better yet, a rags-to-riches story?
The story of Finca Villa Betulia is great. Back in 2011, Owner Luis Aníbal Calderón found himself struggling financially. Producing C-Grade coffees at low costs led him to nearly lose his farm to the banks.
However, he took a risk and planted 5,000 Gesha trees.
The risk paid off, and by 2015 he decided to cover his entire farm in exotic trees. Now, it’s home to Gesha, Sidra, Tabi, Wush Wush, and more.
He’s become one of the best specialty coffee growers in all of Colombia.
This is an extremely unique coffee.
After being picked and sorted, it was exposed to a dry aerobic fermentation of 24 hours.
Then, it was placed in grain pro bags for 90 hours and maintained at a temperature below 22c.
In those conditions, bacteria feed on the carbs and sugars of the coffee’s mucilage, leading to a higher concentration of lactic acid.
After this, the coffee is placed on raised beds to dry naturally.
The result is spectacular.
This is a micro-lot that is 100% pink bourbon varietal and the first time we’ve brought on a coffee that cups at a whopping score of 90!
Look for tasting notes of raisin, lollipop, lavender, plum and even cinnamon bun!
