Grown by Hervey & Rocío Cuellar in Oporapa, Huila. Hervey tested roughly 30 fermentation methods before settling on this profile: a 50-hour anaerobic cherry fermentation followed by a 60-hour bean fermentation and full wash, then slow shade-drying on raised beds for about three weeks. Suited to ibric, espresso or moka. Source: en.pressco.ro.

Washed Pink Bourbon at 2000masl. Suited to ibric, espresso, moka or filter. Source: en.pressco.ro.

Brown Sugar · Marzipan · Caramel
Grown by Silvia and Guillermo Rojas on their Betania farm, which also produces mango, guanábana, pitaya, papaya and tapioca alongside coffee. This Pacamara lot — planted five years ago at the farm's highest point (1650masl) — is processed by oxidating cherries for 36 hours before depulping, then fermenting the depulped seeds in a closed bag for another 36 hours.
