Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Los Cachimbos sits in the Huila region of southern Colombia, a corner of the country famous for clean, fruit-forward washed coffees. The farm is led by producer Blanca Ruby Lopez Tibatá, who runs it alongside her husband and children, and is planted across several varieties including Geisha, Bourbon and the standout Bourbon Ají that defines this lot.

The care shows in the cup. Only ripe cherries are picked, then floated to remove defects, depulped and fermented for around 72 hours before being washed and dried slowly on shaded patios. That patient, traditional approach is what gives Soul Fire its bright, juicy character and its clean finish.

This is a limited-edition lot and a returning favourite, now in its third edition. Each harvest brings a slightly different expression, and this year it is all peach, cherry and cola.

How to Brew Colombia Soul Fire

As a light roast, this coffee shows its best a couple of weeks after roasting. If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer; if it turns bitter or muddy, grind coarser and keep your water around 93°C.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At about 15g per filter cup, a 250g bag brews roughly 16 cups and a 1kg bag around 66 cups. Because this is a limited single-origin lot, every bag is a chance to taste a specific harvest from one Colombian farm before it sells out.
