Colombia - Finca Las Flores

About This Coffee

This coffee is a standout Tabi lot from Jhoan Vergara's farm Finca Las Flores in Colombia. The Tabi variety is a cross of bourbon, typica and timor, developed in the 1950s as a disease-resistant variety. The beans undergo a complex multi-stage processing: up to 48 hours of open-air oxidation followed by around 36 hours of submerged fermentation. After pulping, the coffee undergoes a second submerged anaerobic fermentation using the washed tartaric method, completed with a thermal shock at 50°C to halt microbial activity. Finally, the beans are washed and dried under canopies or in controlled chambers. This unique multi-step process creates a world-renowned flavor profile known for clarity, balance, and consistency in the cup.
