Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Villa Pastora farm in Palestina, Huila, Colombia, produced by Gerson Mora. The farm is named after his grandmother Pastora who managed it from the 1980s until 2002. This is a family-run operation with second and third generation coffee growers. The coffee is grown at 1,600 meters altitude and is the Bourbon Rayado variety. The process involves selective picking of ripe cherries, flotation to remove immature beans, 8 hours of cherry oxidation, manual depulping, 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation in tanks, washing, and 15 days of drying in a small greenhouse followed by 2 weeks of stabilization. The flavor profile features yellow fruit, floral notes, and panela (unrefined cane sugar).
