Colombia | El Placer Session IPA

About This Coffee

This Pink Bourbon coffee is from Sebastian Ramirez's El Placer farm in Quindío, Colombia, grown at 1750-2000 meters altitude. The cherries undergo an innovative double anaerobic fermentation process: first, handpicked beans are sealed in a CO2-filled container for 100 hours of carbonic maceration with controlled pH and temperature. After de-pulping, they are sealed with a unique hop culture (Mosto) for another 100 hours. The coffee is then dried in Elbas for up to 30 days and stabilized for an additional 15 days. The honey process with hop culture creates a distinctive IPA-inspired flavor profile with notes of hops and tropical fruit.

Somewhere Coffee Company

Founded in 2018 in Toronto's west end, Somewhere Coffee Company leans into the idea of coffee as an escape, a way to travel to another place without leaving your neighborhood. The roastery sources from diverse global origins including Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Brazil, and Indonesia, and coffees are often named to evoke their country of origin, reinforcing the travel theme. Small batch roasting produces medium profiles that balance origin character with everyday drinkability. The approach is playful but the quality is serious, with a wholesale program supplying Toronto cafes and restaurants. A subscription service keeps things moving with rotating selections that take subscribers on a kind of global coffee journey from their kitchen.
