About this coffee:
Coffees from Juan Jimenez have become a staple in our lineup for the last four years. With a crisp apple acidity, this micro-lot from Huila has the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and tactile that we love in washed coffees.
The Story:
Juan is a second-generation farmer who has been cultivating coffee for over 40 years now. His 16 hectare farm (roughly 40 acres), called El Porvenir, is situated just south of Huila in an obscure but flourishing micro region known as Palestina. This area offers an abundantly harmonious environment for specialty coffee trees to thrive. Juan Jimenez knows this, and has astutely nurtured his own host of unique kinds of coffee, including the recently emerged Pink Bourbon cultivar. Jimenez has benefited greatly from his early investment into this now highly sought-after alleged mutation, combining his expertise in agronomy techniques with the variety’s fascinating flavor profile to win awards and magnify his reputation within the specialty community.
