This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, later floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries are
exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being de-pulped. Parchment is gently washed and dried under
temperature-controlled conditions until ideal moisture content is achieved.

This microlot 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 MASL in San Adolfo, Huila.
