This coffee is produced by Linarco Rodríguez at Betania Farm in the Palestina region of Huila, Colombia. Grown at an altitude of 1750 meters under native shade trees, this SL28 variety is processed using the yellow honey method, where a controlled amount of mucilage is left on the bean during drying. The cup profile features vibrant red fruit acidity with tasting notes of cranberry, lemon, pomegranate, panela, and honey. It offers a medium body with a rounded texture and a clean, slightly sweet finish.
Luka Banović founded this remarkable micro roastery in 2018 at just 17 years old, driven by his frustration with bitter coffee and Slovenia's shortage of specialty roasters. His approach centers on light-roasted filter coffees that showcase unique flavors and aromas, with a mission to enable as many people as possible to drink fresh, quality coffee oriented towards sustainable development. Banović roasts about 200kg monthly from his Ljubljana facility, shipping single-origin selections across the EU while maintaining direct relationships with farmers and prioritizing environmental protection in every aspect of production.
