Coffee Information

 

SAN ISIDRO - PINK BOURBON

 

Producer: Pedro Rodriguez 

Altitude: 1700

Variety: Pink bourbon 

Fermentation Time: 24 hour fermentation

Process: washed 

Tasting Notes: Candied lemon, Kiwi, Brown sugar


Finca San Isidro, located in la Union, is an outstanding example of innovation and dedication in coffee growing. Under the direction of its owner, Pedro Rodríguez, this 4-hectare farm has earned a reputation for producing high quality Arabica coffee, especially in the Pink bourbon, Orange bourbon, Cenicafé, Café Supremo and Tabi varieties.


We are thrilled therefore to be able to offer this washed - Pink bourbon coffee as one of the highest quality Fidela has thus far, been able to source. This coffee is fermented for 24 hours with the cherry intact to facilitate greater fermentation and thus creating a sweeter, more fruity flavour. The coffee is then depulped, removing the skin and flesh from the seeds and then undergoes a series of washing with water to remove debris and mucilage, leaving the green beans to then be sun dried or machine dried depending on the climatic conditions.


Pedro also is an example of inclusion and equality at farm level. Women play a vital role on the farm, being the main operatives in charge of the coffee harvest. Pedro values and encourages the participation of women in all stages of cultivation, thus promoting gender equality in agriculture.


Sustainability is a key issue in modern coffee farming and Pedro is implementing a number of different innovations to ensure longevity of his venture. He ensures to use organic fertilizer and fumigants, such as the remaining coffee cherry husks from processing to enrich the soil with nutrients lost throughout the year, such as nitrogen. This way the soil is as healthy as it was the previous year and coffee growing can continue for the foreseeable future.





NARANJO AGRIO


Producer: Luis Antonio Botina Criollo

Location: El Yumbo, Colombia

Altitude: 1670 MASL

Variety: Catillo

Drying Process: 8 to 15 days

Tasting Notes: Candied Orange, Peach & Milk Chocolate



Owned and operated by Luis Antonio Botina Criollo, Finca El Naranjo Agrio spans over 5 hectares in the lush region of El Yumbo. Of these, 2.7 hectares are dedicated to the cultivation of the Naranjo Agrio variety. Luis began his journey in agriculture in 1981, balancing his role as a primary school teacher until 2002. His transition from sugarcane to coffee cultivation was driven by his passion for coffee and the desire to improve his family's livelihood.

Luis and his family, including his wife Sereida and their son Jhony, are deeply involved in the farm operations, focusing on sustainable practices. The coffee cherries are pulped and then fermented in tanks for 24 hours before washing. The drying process takes between 8 and 15 days, influenced by the local climate.


The farm has faced significant challenges due to climate change, with variations in weather affecting the annual yield. Luis has observed a reduction in production due to extreme weather patterns. In response to these challenges, Luis has diversified his crops to include oranges, bananas, papayas, mandarins, and guava, which helps improve the farm's sustainability and resilience against market and climate fluctuations.

The farm sits at an altitude of 1700 meters, which contributes to the coffee’s bright acidity and rich flavors. Tasting notes often include tropical fruits and a smooth, chocolatey finish, producing a balanced and delightful cup. In this particular lot, we taste a sweet, candied orange front note with a peach acidity and a milk chocolate finish.
