Huila, Colombia

Peach. Elderflower. White Tea.

Semi-Washed, Bourbon

La Reserva, 1750MASL

Description

Grown with purpose and precision at 1,750 meters in the lush landscapes of Pitalito–Palestina, Huila, this exquisite Bourbon variety is the result of a visionary return to roots.

Marlon Rojas, once a commercial pilot, rediscovered his family’s legacy and future on their farm, La Reserva. Together with his uncles—seasoned cultivators of rare varieties like Gesha and Sidra—he’s turned a family tradition into a pursuit of excellence in specialty coffee.

Process & Craftsmanship

This semi-washed Bourbon undergoes an intricate, flavor-forward process. After selective handpicking and classification, the cherries begin a 24-hour pre-fermentation to unlock their latent sweetness. They’re then depulped and semi-washed, retaining mucilage for complexity, before entering a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation with fresh passion fruit. This rare co-fermentation infuses the beans with subtle tropical acidity and floral aromatics.

Post-fermentation, the coffee is dried slowly over 15 days on raised beds and stabilized in the dark for another 15, ensuring structure, clarity, and balance.

Cup Profile

In the cup, expect a radiant interplay of ripe peach, delicate elderflower, elegant white tea and a hint of zesty yuzu. The body is silky, the acidity refined, and the finish enduring—perfectly capturing the essence of its origin and the innovation behind its process.
