Description
Pink Bourbon process
A key part for his coffee profile is the correct ripeness, the cherries go through an oxidation process for 12-14 hours depending on the weather before using the pulping machine that also has a mucilage remover.
All the mucilage and honey-water of this pulping process is collected in order to put the coffee beans in a GrainPro bag with the mucilage and honey-water collected for 22 hours. Finally the coffee is washed twice with clean water.
Origin
Rodrigo Oyuela is currently the president of the COAGROHERMOSAS association. He is characterized by his leadership and great agronomical skills regarding high coffee yields, as well as including his family as part of the business.
"It is a family tradition" - he has been in coffee since he was a child. As he grew up he managed to buy a few coffee farms but sold most of them because of low yields due to what he believes was soil issues and climate.
That is also the reason why he looked into exotic varieties. In this case the Pink Bourbon seeds he used come from Acevedo, Huila.
The farm is 33.5 ha with coffee planted on 8 Ha with pink bourbon, Castillo and Colombia. In total he has 38000 trees.
