ROSE PETALS | RED APPLES | SUGARCANE | APRICOT

Created by Jairo Arcila first in Santa Monica and then in Finca Villarazo, both farms are seated on fertile volcanic land along the scenic and winding Buenvista road in Armenia, Quindio. Jairo Arcila uses different arabica varieties for this coffee, usually switching between Castillo and Pink Bourbon. We have featured different versions of this coffee from both farms.

This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm La Pradera. This coffee was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation period of 72 hours with the pulp on. During this fermentation stage, smashed roses were added. The cherries were then pulped and placed to dry on raised beds until ideal moisture content was achieved.

This micro-lot is 100% Pink Bourbon. This varietal is currently under research in order to determine its origin. It is said that it is a mutation that took place at 2100 m.a.s.l in San Adolfo, Huila.
