This coffee is produced by Eduardo Urquina. The coffee was carefully hand-picked in order to use only the ripest cherries, exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation of 56 hours before pulped inside grainpro bags at 20 degree Celsius. In this environment bacteria feeds from carbohydrates and sugars from the mucilage. This leads to a higher concentration of lactic acid. Afterwards the fruit is pulped and gently washed and placed on raised beds to 10.5% moisture content.

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.
