## What the Brand Says

> Farm: El Roblar Variety: Pink Bourbon Region: Suaza, Huila, Colombia Altitude: 1,800 MASL Process: Washed Harvest: October-November 2024 Notes: Blackberry, raspberry, ripe strawberry & intense syrupy sweetness. The aroma of this coffee is loud with a red-berry jam essence. The cup is rich & full of tropical highlights. Notes of Muscadine grape, black cherry and passion-fruit permeate the palate. The profile has a heavy-weighted mouthfeel, the berry notes present themselves poignantly. Overall, German has produced a hyper sweet strawberry reduction styled PinkB with an articulated acidic nuance. German Peña grows coffee on Finca El Roblar with his wife and two kids. A great example of family working together on quality. German receives help with fertilization, cleaning and harvesting from his brothers-in-law, nephews and brothers, as well who live nearby the farm. When German was 14 years old, his family owned a coffee plantation which was located at lower altitude neighbouring their grandmother’s farm. His father sold that patch and left German a small plot of land. This is currently where El Roblar is located. In those times the farm had very basic forms of accomodation, no house and therefore having to sleep in a tent as they worked on the farm. Starting with no coffee trees on a farm and with quite low average temperatures. The land back then was only used for letting their animals wander around. Since then, he has grown to become a world renowned producer. Don German Peña Zuta has wowed many roasters, farmers and cuppers this year with his Pink Bourbon competition lot. He took 4th place at Osito's Copa de Oro this year! Many of the judges gave German (heir-mahn) their highest scores. This is not one to miss and truly amazing we even got ahold of some of his work. Limited quantities available, enjoy! Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date. Last Roast was June 9th. A few bags remaining.
