Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Pink Bourbon varietal from Tolima, Colombia, grown at 1,750 meters altitude on El Vergel Estate. It undergoes an innovative Honey + Strawberry process where cherries are co-fermented anaerobically for 5 days with yeast and strawberry flavors, then mechanically dried. The result is a vibrant cup with pronounced strawberry, red fruits, citrus, and honey notes, complemented by milk chocolate and malic acidity.
