Story
Colombia is best-known for its washed coffees. While the processing details might vary slightly from farm to farm or by association, generally the coffee is picked ripe and depulped the same day, then given an open-air fermentation in tanks or buckets for anywhere between 12–36 hours. The coffee is washed clean of its mucilage before being dried either on patios, in parabolic dryers, solar driers, or mechanically.

Description

Jose Alirio Lopez Hoyos produces this coffee at Finca Buena Vista in the San Agustin area within the Huila region. Its high elevation and dense beans lead to a complex and compelling cup.
