Colombia El Origen Washed

About This Coffee

Pink Bourbon (Bourbon Rosado) grown at 1,400 meters altitude at Finca El Origen in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, produced by Carlos Arango. This washed coffee is cultivated under shade within an agroforestry system where native trees regulate light exposure, temperature, and humidity, promoting slower cherry maturation and healthier soils. Valle del Cauca is one of Colombia's most biodiverse coffee regions, shaped by the convergence of the Western and Central mountain ranges, creating a stable climate with balanced rainfall, cool mountain breezes, and generous sunlight. Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and meticulously sorted. Flavor notes include pomelo, grapefruit, apricot, and black tea.

So Roaster

SO Coffee Roasters was founded in Porto in 2019 by three friends who bonded over a shared passion for coffee at a previous company. The name "SO" stands for Southwest, a nod to Portugal's position in Europe and the founders' deep connection to Porto, with a second location opening in Lisbon just weeks after launch. The roastery sources micro lots from single origin, single harvest plantations, working closely with farmers and prioritizing fair compensation and environmental responsibility. Their team has earned national recognition, with Rui Pedrosa winning the 2022 Portuguese Barista Championship and placing in the top 15 at the World Barista Championship, and Luiz Lahutte Motta taking the 2024 SCA Portugal Brewers Cup. SO Coffee Roasters blends Portuguese heritage with a mission to share exceptional specialty coffee with everyone.
