Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This is a Pink Bourbon variety from Finca Campo Hermoso in Circasia, Quindío, Colombia, grown at 1,750 meters above sea level by producer Edwin Noreña. The coffee undergoes a Red Honey process with carbonic maceration and co-fermentation. The processing involves harvesting cherries at 18+ brix, an initial 72-hour carbonic maceration, depulping while retaining 60% mucilage, and co-fermenting with watermelon pulp and dehydrated watermelon for another 72 hours. The coffee is sun-dried on African beds for approximately 15 days. Flavor notes include watermelon, melon, hibiscus, caramel, and roses.
