Juan Martin - Colombia

SWEET & COMPLEX
Violet Blossom, Persimmon & Honeydew Melon

PRODUCER: Banexport Research Farm
REGION: Sotara, Cauca
PROCESS: Washed
VARIETY: Pink Bourbon

This pink bourbon lot from Juan Martin is sweet and complex, with a heavy dose of floral notes and intriguing tropical fruit flavors. On the first sip there is a strong presence of dried violet and rose. The body is silky, a perfect fit for a mix of exotic fruit flavors, which transform as the cup cools; starting in ripe persimmon and moving through mango to honeydew as it cools. The sweetness in the finish reminds us of gummy candies.

Finca Juan Martin is Banexport’s experimental research farm located just 30 minutes from Popayan, Cauca.

This is the fourth coffee we’ve featured from Juan Martin over the years. It is a pleasure to support the project and showcase their amazing products.
