Colombia - Finca El Placer - Wine Yeast Anaerobic Natural

Taste Notes - Tropical, Syrah, Red Starburst 

 This coffee is wild and fun and will not last long.  

The Ramirez family has been growing coffee for over 100 years, or since Sebastian's grandfather, Ernesto Ramirez Valencia started planting the first coffea arabica shrubs of Typica and Bourbon on their family land. The land is managed by the father son duo Sebastian and his father Ernesto.

In this region of the Colombia coffee grows all year round and is harvested weekly with production peaks from April to June and from September to December.

The production at Finca El Placer specializes in the cultivation and production of micro lots of Variedad Colombia, Castillo, Caturra, Geisha and Yellow & Pink Bourbon.

When Sebastian started working on the farm, the family was only producing fully washed coffees.

Always very anxious and curious to learn more, and by sheer luck, El Placer is located only 15 minutes away from the (National School for Coffee Quality) SENA, which is a government institution that is completely free of cost to coffee producers. From there, Sebastian was able utilize the resources and education provided by the school to further his knowledge and technical understanding in the production of experimental processed coffees.

Sebastian credits the school for its contribution to fueling his curiosity and providing him access to now further his experimentation with coffee.
