Las Perlitas
is a renowned coffee farm located in Colombia, known for producing high-quality, specialty-grade coffee. The farm is particularly celebrated for its commitment to sustainable farming practices and its cultivation of unique coffee varietals, such as Chiroso and Caturra. Las Perlitas is situated in a region with ideal growing conditions, including high altitudes and rich volcanic soil, which contribute to the complex flavors of its coffee. The farm's dedication to quality is reflected in its meticulous processing methods, often involving hand-picking ripe cherries and carefully controlled fermentation processes. This attention to detail has earned Las Perlitas recognition in coffee competitions and a strong reputation among specialty coffee enthusiast

Pink Bourbon
is a unique coffee varietal known for its distinct flavor profile and vibrant quality. A hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon, it thrives at high altitudes in Colombia and other coffee-growing regions. Its cherries develop a pink hue when ripe, attributed to specific genetic and environmental conditions. Pink Bourbon is prized for its complex taste, often featuring floral, citrus, and tropical fruit notes with a bright acidity and creamy body. Due to its challenging cultivation and lower yield, it is considered rare and highly sought after by specialty coffee enthusiasts.

Washed Process
The washed coffee process, also known as the wet process, involves removing the coffee cherries' outer skin and pulp before the beans are dried. First, the cherries are harvested and sorted to remove any unripe or defective ones. Then, they are pulped, separating the beans from the fruit. The beans are fermented in water for 12 to 48 hours to break down the mucilage, a sticky layer surrounding them. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed to remove any remaining residue. Finally, the clean beans are dried, either in the sun or using mechanical dryers, before being hulled, sorted, and prepared for export. This method produces a cleaner, brighter flavor in the final coffee.
