Standout Coffee
Stockholm, Sweden
WARNING - Not for the feint of heart! This coffee is one of the most intensely fermented coffees we have ever experienced - while still retaining superb quality acidity, sweetness and structure! It stands out on any cupping table and is a marvelous example of experimental coffee farming pushing the envelope beyond what we previously thought was possible. Don Alejandro Ortiz, owner of the Llamadas farm, is the eldest of 9 brothers, sons of coffee farmers, since his childhood don Alejandro accompanied his father to harvest and plant coffee, a profession he practiced during his adolescence to "earn a few pesos" as they say in the region. After meeting his wife Nancy, with whom he had 6 children, Don Alejandro gathered his savings and acquired 10 hectares of land landlocked in the Central Colombian Cordillera where he produces with his family varieties like: Bourbon, Gesha and Caturra. Together with other producers, he founded a cafe association that works for the continuous improvement of agronomic and post-harvest practices.
