Colombia - El Bombo BIO / Filter

This excellent lot was prepared by 15 female coffee farmers from the Asobombo cooperative in Huila. In the Pitalito region, most farms are around 3-5 hectares in size, making them slightly larger than in the rest of Huila. The region became more heavily populated in the 19th and 20th centuries because there was still a lot of fertile land there. Huila is generally considered one of the best coffee-growing regions in Colombia, and is already known for its particularly high coffee quality.

The women of the Asobombo cooperative hand-pick their ripe, sweet cherries themselves and begin processing them right on the farm. After pulping, the coffee beans ferment in water tanks for 12-36 hours. The parchment is then washed and dried on covered raised beds. Due to the high humidity in the region, the parchment is turned particularly frequently to ensure even drying.

This summery, light filter coffee shines with a fruity-sweet taste of red currant and citrus zest, tea-like aromas reminiscent of green Sencha tea and a delicate biscuit finish.
