Luis Calderon - Colombia | Gold Label

JUICY & SWEET
Cranberry, Lavender, & Poached Pear

FARM NAME: Fince Betulia

REGION: La Primavera, Acevedo, Huila
PROCESS: Cherry Dried
VARIETY: Castillo

This selection from Luis Calderon is juicy and sweet. The first flavors that present themselves are a mix of bright red fruits like cranberry, watermelon, hibiscus tea, and wild raspberry. The hibiscus floral notes open up into a beautiful bouquet of lavender aromatics. The profile then takes on a soft spiciness with winey fruit tones that reminds us of poached pears. This is a wonderfully dynamic and fun cup to sip.

Luis Anibal Calderon owns Finca Betulia outside the village of La Primavera in the Acevedo sub region on Huila. This area of Colombia is nestled between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes.

Luis was gifted this very small farm from his father and running a coffee farm has completely changed his life. He and his family work the farm as a team to run the farm with a focus on applying ever better processing methods and a continual expansion of the farm. His coffee is allowed to ferment in cherry for 25 hours before slowly drying in parabolic dryers for 25 days.
