This red bourbon varietal coffee is sourced from Finca Las Flores in the Acevedo region of Huila, Colombia, at 1750 meters elevation. Produced by Johan Manuel Vergara Ayure through Lohas Beans, this natural-processed coffee features the "Casa Elba" drying process. The complex cup profile includes floral, fruity, and winey notes with lactic acidity complemented by a creamy body. The tropical fruit flavors create a punchy and satisfying cup.
Pair Cupworks is a specialty micro roastery in Mesa, Arizona, founded by Kimhak Em and Eugenia Tai.

Food & Wine Magazine named them Best Coffee Roaster in the state in 2022. They roast in small batches with the goal of developing clean flavours that respect the work of farmers and producers.
