From SEPTEMBER
This is our second year working with Gildardo Lopez. His coffees are well known and highly praised. This particular lot is the 5th place Copa de Oro 2024 coffee. We are honoured and thrilled to showcase this spectacular lot.
About The Producer
Gildardo's farm, El Calamar, is high in the mountains of Paicol on the western edge of Huila. In the recent years, his family has won numerous awards in the local cup competitions and, year over year, their Pink Bourbon impresses the most demanding of clients. In recent months, they have also planted a small amount of Gesha. Gildardo is a husband to Yolanda Bolaños and a father to four kids ranging in age from 20-25.
Processing
Gildardo hand-picks the coffee cherries at their peak ripeness. The selected cherries are floated to remove any defects. They are then fermented for 30 hours, de-pulped, and then dry-fermented in parchment for an additional 48 hours. The cherries are washed and dried on raised beds for 20-25 days.
Variety
Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila, Colombia, and while newer, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet, and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace variety.
