Colombia Golden Drops Borbon

Founded in 1990 by Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure, Las Flores benefits from the high range of temperatures of the San Isidor microclimate. Sat up at 1750 masl, the farm experiences acutely hot days and chilly nights. Stressed by the notable swing in temperatures, over time coffee plants on Las Flores regularly mature with markedly high levels of glucose.

Over recent years, Edilberto and Nubia's son Jhoan has had great success taking advantage of and promoting the inherent characteristics of Las Flores' coffees with extended, controlled fermentation methods.

For this coffee, Don Jhoan developed a post-harvest process consisting of an in-cherry 36-hour dry fermentation, pulping, and then a further 48-hour fermentation before being dried. In the cup, the sweetness and complexity of the Yellow Bourbon varietal shine through. This coffee has notes of lime and lemon zest when hot, and then raspberry, tomato and kefir as it cools.
