This coffee is a Pink Bourbon Plus variety from the Bella Vista farm in the Bruselas region of Huila, Colombia. Grown at an altitude of 1750-1800 meters, it undergoes an advanced natural process that includes manual cherry selection, yeast inoculation, controlled fermentation, and a thermal shock application to intensify sweetness and aromatic complexity. The beans are then slow-dried on elevated beds for 20-30 days. This meticulous production method results in a high-quality cup reflecting the dedication of the Gasca family.
Based in Zürich, AILA was founded with the mission to build a complete coffee culture rather than just a roastery. They are deeply committed to direct trade, fostering strong relationships with their producers to ensure quality and fairness. Their roasting approach is designed to tell the story of the beans and the people behind them.
