Talented young producer.

Whilst on our recent trip to Colombia visiting our partner producers with Cofinet, we got to know Johan Vergara, a young and talented producer.

We were very impressed with the quality of his lots and this Tabi in particular stood out for its clarity and complexity. Johan is in his early twenties, and produces most of the coffees here at Las Flores.

The Producer

Coffee here is harvested following a strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects.

Cherries are then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.

This micro-lot is 100% Tabi and is a new variety developed by “Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros.” This unique variety is a cross between the Timor Hybrid, Bourbon, and Typica.

  • Production Data

    Grown at 1750-1800 masl
    Varietal - Tabi
    Harvest - March 2022

  • Washed

    Ripe cherries are washed and then pulped to remove the majority of skin and fruit from the bean before its fermented.

    Fermentation is brief and helps to remove any remaining material from the pulping process as well as adding complexity to the coffee.

    The coffee is then washed and sun-dried, mechanically dried, or a combination of the two until the desired moisture level is reached.
