What the Brand Says
Santa Elena Origin: Colombia Producer: Carlos Vergara Farm: Finca Santa Elena Process: Washed, Multi-stage fermentation Varietal: Pink Bourbon Tasting Notes: bounty, coconut cream, sweet orange This coffee is a snapshot of place — grown at Finca Santa Elena, a second-generation family farm where cousins, uncles, and family members work together to carry forward their shared passion for coffee. The project blends tradition with innovation, combining careful farming practices with agroforestry systems of native trees that support biodiversity and sustainability. This Pink Bourbon “Locura” lot undergoes a highly controlled fermentation process. Ripe cherries are handpicked and begin with a 40-hour open fermentation, followed by 40 hours of submerged anaerobic fermentation in tanks with fruit yeast inoculation. A thermal shock step helps stabilize and intensify aromatic compounds before the coffee is slowly sun-dried for around 15 days. We’ve roasted it ultra-light to let the nuances shine. Expect coconut cream sweetness, panela and sweet orange brightness, and juicy raspberry fruit — a layered and vibrant cup that reflects both experimentation and family dedication.Santa Elena Origin: Colombia Producer: Carlos Vergara Farm: Finca Santa Elena Process: Washed, Multi-stage fermentation Varietal: Pink Bourbon Tasting Notes: bounty, coconut cream, sweet orange This coffee is a snapshot of place — grown at Finca Santa Elena, a second-generation family farm where cousins, uncles, and family members work together to carry forward their shared passion for coffee.
