Heroes Series
This is our first offering from the famed Colombian farm La Palma y El Tucan. We chose this nano-lot after cupping various coffees from La Palma, doing so because of its vibrant acidity and tropical fruit flavors.
We are honored to be working with these famed producers and bring this special offering to you.
La Palma y El Tucan
This farm was founded in 2011 with the vision of delivering on the demand of specialty coffee through knowledge and specialized equipment.
In 2016, the farm set the record got the highest price ever paid in Colombia for green coffee, and several of their micro-lots one more than 15 different regional coffee competitions.
In 2018, the farm adopted an agroecological model that has now been replicated in other origins. La Palma y El Tucan continues to deliver on the demand of specialty through their amazing selection of terroir-driven coffees.
Yellow Bourbon Lactic
The first coffee we purchased from Las Adelitas is a nano-lot from producer Dulce Fonseca. Dulce resists traditional processing methods and in turn prefers to develop specialty coffees with a focus on terroir.
In this process, cherries were harvested when they were a violet hue, then washed and placed in fermentation tanks for 6 nights. After dried and depulped, coffee was sun-dried in raised beds for 30 days, exposing the coffee to 4 hours of daily sunlight. The coffee was rested at 2000 m.a.s.l. during 60 days.
