About this Coffee
We are particularly excited to be working with Silvia, now 20, who grows Pink Bourbon and Caturra high up in San Agustín. In the cup we find a more fruit-forward profile of jammy ripe berries, milk chocolate, and a balanced and structured acidity.
With help from her father, long-time coffee producer Silvio Ordoñez, 20-year-old Silvia is now in her third year of production. About four years ago, the duo planted this plot of 1,500 Pink Bourbon trees based on Silvio’s desire to “teach her that one has to achieve things by their own merit.” Since taking over this small garden of Pink Bourbon, Silvia has been studious and attentive to all elements of harvesting and processing. Silvia has also become a weekly fixture at Monkaaba’s coffee tasting sessions, where she has learned to identify her own coffee while deepening her knowledge of physical analysis and defect identification.
