This coffee is a Colombia Rosado varietal grown in the mountains of southern Huila, specifically the village of Galilea in Palestina. It is harvested from Julián Calderón’s lot and undergoes a carefully managed washed process designed to enhance clarity and fruit expression. Cherries are resting in the husk for 24 hours after harvest, depulped and fermented for 48 hours, then washed and slowly dried in a greenhouse for about 15 days to preserve flavor.
Lineage Coffee Roasting was founded in January 2012 by Jarrett and Justine Johnson in Orlando, Florida. The couple started with a retrofitted grill and an ice cream motor powering a 3 kilogram roaster, and within months had upgraded and begun building a reputation for meticulous small lot roasting. By 2015 they were traveling to Guatemala and Colombia to establish direct trade relationships, later expanding those connections into Kenya and Ethiopia. Today Lineage operates three café locations across Orlando, cups and dials in every coffee served, and runs a wholesale program alongside a roasting academy. The hands on approach that began with a homemade setup continues to define the company's identity more than a decade later.
