Colombia Bombona from The Coffee Collective is a filter coffee that combines fruity freshness with pleasant sweetness and a silky texture. In the cup, notes of caramel, blackberries, and chocolate come together to create a harmonious and very well-balanced profile. The coffee is bright and juicy, yet retains plenty of sweetness and depth. Fruity notes lend the cup vibrancy, while the caramel and chocolate notes bring a pleasant roundness and a long finish. The result is an elegant filter coffee that you’ll enjoy whether you’re sipping a slow morning brew or taking an afternoon break.
The coffee comes from the Huila region of Colombia and is produced by Jhonathan Gasca, a fourth-generation coffee farmer. The Gasca family has long focused on producing high-quality specialty coffee and farms with an emphasis on sustainability. The farm uses an agroforestry system, works with organic fertilizers, and also practices beekeeping, which supports natural pollination and biodiversity. Approximately 80% of the production consists of traditional varieties, while the remainder is made up of more exclusive cultivars. The farm also includes three hectares of a nature reserve that remains completely untouched by agricultural activity. Colombia coffee trees grow here at an elevation of around 1,850 meters above sea level, where slower ripening contributes to greater sweetness and complexity in the beans.
Processing is carried out using the washed method with a precise three-stage fermentation. After harvest, the cherries first undergo an oxidation phase, then are pulped and undergo further controlled oxidation. The final step is a 40-hour anaerobic fermentation submerged in water with recirculation of the “mosta,” the liquid produced during fermentation. This carefully controlled process helps highlight the coffee’s sweetness, clarity, and complex fruity character without suppressing its natural expression. The result is a bright, silky, and very balanced cup with a beautiful combination of caramel, blackberries, and chocolate.
