Colombia El Vergel "Pink Borbon Punch" FILTER

Highlights

“Pink Borbon Punch comes from El Vergel, the Bayter family farm at 1,500 m in Fresno, Tolima. The cherries get a 12-hour pre-fermentation in plastic tanks, then 24 hours sealed anaerobic, four days in a mechanical silo, 20 days on raised beds and 30 days in GrainPro bags to stabilise. The Bayters planted their first coffee varieties in 2006 after avocado prices collapsed and turned to controlled fermentation in 2018, working with Miguel Jimenez; today Martha Montenegro and partners Elias and Shady run the estate. Roasted for filter, the cup is bold and winey with apple, blackberry, blueberry and plum, closing on malic acidity.”
