This coffee is a Red Bourbon variety grown at 1,680 meters altitude at Finca Villa Pastora in the Palestina municipality of Huila, Colombia. It undergoes a meticulous thermal shock process involving 60 hours of thermal oxidation followed by 92 hours of dry anaerobic fermentation. The resulting cup is fruit-forward and clean, featuring vibrant tasting notes of red raspberry, tropical punch, violet florals, and ripe cherry. This light roast offers a juicy sweetness reminiscent of fruit punch and raspberry milkshake.
