About this Coffee
Nuance you’ll discover with every sip. This coffee from our friend, Jaime Lopez, has a noticeable natural sweetness and delicate tropical characteristics.
This coffee is special because Jaime is special. At nearly 80, Jaime lives his retirement on his own farm doing what he loves most, growing coffee. After a lifetime as a coffee farm manager, Jaime is still passionate about coffee cultivation and innovation. We were fortunate to meet Jaime on a recent trip to Colombia with our friends at Unblended Coffee. We were able to visit Jaime’s farm, high up in the mountains, and sit with him and his wife on their front porch watching the sun set. A truly special experience.
Jaime harvests all his coffee himself, and brings them to be processed on Felipe Trujillo’s farm, Ventola. This coffee is submerged in water, and each day, for several days, he adds new cherries to this same tank, fermenting in the water and its own juices for a total of 90 hours. After this, the cherries are taken out of the tank and set out on drying beds for 4 to 6 weeks, until 11% internal moisture is reached. Then they’re bagged up and shipped to our warehouse where they’re ready for you.
