About La Esperanza Pink Bourbon

In the township of Villa Fátima, outside of Bruselas, Huila in Colombia, Luz Dary Polo works on her 3 hectare (7.5 acre) farm of caturra, pink bourbon and recently renovating old trees with bourbon ají. Luz Dary is a member of the Los Guácharos association — they collectively share technical know-how and commercialize their coffee together while working on converting to organic agriculture, making their own fertilizers and installing water filtration systems. 

Luz herself has begun making her own ‘brew’ of organic minerals and waste products called ‘Super Margo’ that’s used as fertilizer and disease protectant. She is also moving towards fully organic production, but is making the transition thoughtfully and planned out so that her yields don’t go down.

This lot of 100% pink bourbon cherries that are picked at their peak ripeness, then floated to remove any defects. Then the cherries are stored in sealed bags to begin a fermentation process. After 40 hours, the cherries are depulped, then fermented again in a sealed barrel for 60 more hours. Then, the coffee is washed and sun dried before export. 

We think this coffee is a beautiful expression of what Colombian coffees have to offer — a bright and juicy acidity with a complex and deep sweetness.
