We can present you with one of the most exciting coffees in our selection at the moment: an incredibly well processed anaerobic fermented and dry-processed Java from Rogelio Espinoza and his wife Leidy Espinosa at their farm Finca La Bonita. 

Since the couple bought the farm 4 years ago, they have invested in growing and processing solely the two high performing varieties Java and Geisha. The incredibly small size of the farm is only 2 ha allows them to have full quality control of production and truly invest in these nano-lots.

After highly selective picking, the cherries are first anaerobic fermented in bags for 40 hours, and then dried in a drying patio for 15 days.

The fermentation technique only brings about an extra fruitiness and sweetness to the cup, with a very delicate and floral experience remaining. 

This coffee was sourced through our partners at Plot Coffee, who collaborate with the small family owned Cuatro Vientos exporting company. This is a young specialty coffee exporting enterprise from Neiva in Huila, Colombia, founded in 2018 by brothers Yonatan and Julian Gonzalez. Driven by their pursuit of connecting roasters with farmers from their region, their mission is to make excellent coffees from Huila available worldwide.
