This Colombian coffee is produced by Don Wilson Alba Córdoba, a third-generation coffee farmer working on the Sierra Morena farm, which has grown to 13 hectares. The coffee is Pink Bourbon variety. Cherries were picked at peak ripeness, fermented in-cherry for 15 hours, depulped, washed, and barrel fermented for another 15 hours. After rinsing, the coffee was dried in parabolic greenhouse solar dryers with raised beds until reaching 10% moisture content. The cup profile features tangerine-like citrus, deep red fruits, and a lingering hibiscus finish.
Based in Philadelphia, Poem Coffee Roasters operates as a tiny boutique roasting company dedicated to ultra small batch production at the highest level. Their entire production schedule revolves around a single roasting day each week, with all coffees roasted to order exclusively on Tuesdays. This practice allows them to capture seasonally sourced specialty beans that reflect fleeting points in time, creating a limited and intentional coffee experience that celebrates the unique characteristics of each harvest.
