This is the second year we have had the opportunity to share Luis Aguirre’s coffee – and this year’s harvest is even better than last. Previously new to specialty coffee, Luis has quickly developed into a producer with a strong sense of quality and process.

When we first bought coffee from Luis, the variety was unknown, but after genetic analysis through LaREB it turned out to be Pink Bourbon – an exclusive variety known for its high cup quality. The coffee is grown at an altitude of 1,800 meters in Villahermosa, Tolima, and is a textbook example of washed coffee with a tropical fruit profile.

We buy this lot through LaREB, a producer-run cooperative that works without intermediaries. 80-90% of the proceeds stay in Colombia, directly benefiting producers like Luis. It’s a system we’re proud to support – and a coffee we’re happy to share with you.

1. The Origin

The coffee is grown by Luis Aguirre on his farm in Villahermosa, Tolima, Colombia, at an altitude of 1,800 meters. Having started working with specialty coffee, Luis has focused on transparency, quality and long-term development of his cultivation.

2. Harvesting & processing

After handpicking, the coffee berries are fermented in their skins for up to 24 hours, followed by dry mass fermentation in tanks. The beans are then washed and sun-dried, resulting in a coffee with exuberant fruitiness and plenty of clarity in the cup.

3. Roasting

This coffee is filter roasted, with a profile that highlights tropical sweetness, lively acidity and light, juicy body. A clear and energetic cup with plenty of freshness.

4. From soil to cup

The flavor profile offers green grapes, melon and intense tropical fruit, with a crystal clear finish. A coffee that shows what passion, careful processing and direct trade can achieve.
