Colombia, Ventolera Black Honey

A Yellow Colombia variety, this lot is designed to highlight the body, acidity and sweetness of a Honey process. After the coffee cherries go through a post-harvest selection process, they are introduced into sealed tanks for 48hrs to go through an anaerobic fermentation. After this period, the cherries are depulped and left to dry in African Beds in its mucilage until the parchment reaches an 11% humidity.

Where it's from

This coffee is our second offering from our partners at Unblended. A native Colombian, and good friend, Lucas Cuadros helps connect us to farmers like Felipe Trujillo. Felipe had a successful career as a CEO at an office supply company, but chose a career-path-change and decided to help his father manage the traditional coffee farm they had inherited from his grandfather. Led by passion, from day one, he began drawing inspiration from the wine industry, where he became a disciplined student of fermentation processes. Today, his farm, La Ventolera, has become a regional institution for specialty coffee. There he preaches his passion for coffee designing and teaches young farmers the art and science of coffee processing.
