This coffee is produced by Jose Martinez at his farm, El Casino, located in Palestina, Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 1,750 meters. The coffee is of the Pink Bourbon variety and is processed using a washed method, where cherries are depulped and undergo a 30-hour dry fermentation before being washed and dried on raised beds. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of crisp strawberry, lime sorbet, and rose, offering a vibrant acidity.
Alex Shotts owns and operates Thankfully Coffee out of Auburn, Alabama. The name was chosen to stir gratitude toward the farmers who produce the coffee, and the roastery is built around long term, repeated seasonal purchases that provide economic stability to its farming partners. Shotts sources specialty beans selected for nuance, character, and complexity, and roasts with an emphasis on sweetness, approachable acidity, and body without letting roast character dominate. The approach is simple: contribute to the flourishing of the people who grow the coffee, and let that care show up in the cup.
