Belén. Café de Colombia

About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by the Grajales family in the Quindío region of Colombia at 1,350 meters above sea level. It is a Pink Bourbon variety processed using a Natural Anaerobic method. The farm grows mainly oranges but cultivates this coffee lot under shade near the main house. The lot is managed organically, though not yet certified. Ripe cherries are carefully hand-selected and fermented in bags for 64 hours in a temperature-controlled environment, then sun-dried on patios with regular turning until reaching 10-11% humidity. The coffee is stored for one month in GrainPro and sisal bags before milling and export. The flavor profile features chocolate, tamarind, pomegranate, and floral notes.
