COLOMBIA LAS PALMAS, by Abelardo Alvear, Filter

23.7 EUR

Finca Las Palmas is located in Bruselas, Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, and is managed by Abelardo Alvear. The farm spans 2 hectares at 1,840 m.a.s.l., where Abelardo cultivates the renowned Bourbon Aji variety. Abelardo’s process begins with selective harvesting of cherries at optimal ripeness. The cherries undergo an anaerobic fermentation in sealed bags for 30 to 38 hours, depending on climate conditions. After depulping, the coffee enters a second anaerobic fermentation in tanks for approximately 80 hours. A light rinse follows, and the coffee is then patio-dried for about 21 days. Abelardo Alvear has been into coffee his whole life. He first heard of an exotic variety with a distictive Chili-like aromatic called Bourbon Aji in 2023 through some neighbours, and decided to grow it in his own farm. Originally named Finca Bombonal Montañoso, Abelardo decided to rename his farm after the palm trees that grew among the coffee trees.
