This is an unforgettable coffee that reminds you of eating Christmas treats by the fireplace.
TheLas Perlitasproject connects small farmers from the Colombian regions of Huila, Nariño, and Antioquia. Each of them supplies only a few bags from their harvest, which would be difficult to find their way across the border on their own. However, combining these micro-lots creates a unique blend that carries the character of each region while offering an exceptional flavor profile. The Santa Maria buying station decided to launch the Las Perlitas project , which means "little pearls."The coffee grows at an altitudeof 1,600-2,000 meters above sea level, where the combination of climate, soil, and the careful work of farmers gives rise to an exceptionally balanced flavor.
The coffee is processedusing thewashedmethod and enriched with a cinnamon infusion. The washed method emphasizes the purity and clarity of the coffee. After being hand-picked, the cherries are sorted, hulled, and fermented for 36–72 hours in water, giving them a delicate freshness and citrus notes. This is followed by two weeks of drying on raised beds, which allows the delicate fruity and floral tones to fully develop. The result is an elegant and juicy coffee that stands out on a filter, but will also surprise you as an espresso.
