• Producer Nelson Rodriquez
• Origin Huila, Colombia
• Profile Maraschino cherry, fudgey caramel, orange bitters

Nelson, along with his sisters Ana Yoheli and Lidia, works half of the family farm, having inherited a portion from his parents – Segundo Ismael and Edilma – who have farmed coffee all their lives. 

Perfectly ripe cherries commence their fermentation in cherry, and 24 to 36 hours later are depulped to continue a two day dry fermentation, before being washed. After a pre-dry on raised shaded beds the coffee is brought up to his shade-cloth covered drying patio atop the family house. 

Nelson is a relatively recent member of Los Guacharos (pretty much our favourite producer group in Southern Huila) and is producing tastier coff ee with every harvest over the last few years. This lot is a lovely caturra variety micro-lot from Nelson’s August 2021 harvest.

Roasted for espresso brewing.
