The producer group named themselves after the Flor de Corazón, a type of magnolia flower that grows endemically in the region. The coffee is washed process with flavor notes of tamarind, plum, and caramel. The aromatics are sweet and intense with flowers and tamarind. Sweet Bloom has maintained a relationship with this producer group since 2021.
