About This Coffee
This washed Pink Bourbon from Luis Aníbal Calderón at Villa Betulia in Acevedo, Huila is a coffee we've been working toward for years — tasting through samples, waiting for the right lot, and finally arriving here. It was worth it. Luis is a second-generation farmer and one of the most accomplished specialty producers in Colombia, and this lot is a shining example of what washed Pink Bourbon can be at its most expressive. In the cup, look for white peach, grapefruit, and hibiscus tea — sparkling, dynamic, and complex, like an exceptionally refined fruit tea that keeps revealing itself with every sip. Producer & Farm Luis Aníbal Calderón has been working in coffee for over 40 years, but his path to specialty production is one of real perseverance. In 2011, with his farm at serious financial risk and C-market prices barely covering production costs, Luis began exploring specialty coffee through his local association. It was a turning point. In 2012 he planted 5,000 Gesha trees, and after waiting three years for them to bear fruit, he was converted. By 2015, Luis had committed to transforming his entire farm — Villa Betulia in Acevedo, Huila — into a showcase for exotic coffee varieties. Today the farm grows an extraordinary range of cultivars including Red Gesha, Tabi, Sidra, Wush Wush, Liberica, Mokka, Maracaturra, and many more. Working closely with our importing partners at Cofinet, Luis has refined his processing methods into something masterful, with expertise across extended fermentation, honey, and natural processing. Villa Betulia is now recognized as one of the benchmark farms for specialty production in all of Huila.
