What happens when fresh raspberries and blackberries meet delicate jasmine? An exceptionally elegant Colombian coffee from the Slovak roastery Concept Coffee Roasters! In the cup, a smooth, creamy sweetness reminiscent of vanilla gradually unfolds, lending the entire flavor a pleasant softness. The result is a clean, complex, and balanced pour-over in which the pronounced fruitiness beautifully complements the floral notes.
Behind this coffee is Jhoan Vergara, a third-generation grower who, together with his family, runs the Finca Las Flores farm. It was founded in 1990 in Colombia’s Huila region, near the town of Acevedo. The coffee trees here grow at an elevation of 1 ,700–1,790 meters above sea level on fertile volcanic soil. Jhoan has gradually transformed what was originally a commercial farm into a renowned center for specialty coffee. In 2019, he even won the Master of Coffee competition in South Korea, and his coffees have made their way into international barista competitions.
Pink Velvet is a Tabi variety, created by crossing Typica, Bourbon, and Timor Hybrid varieties. The coffee undergoes an experimental washed process with controlled fermentation. After careful selection of ripe cherries, fermentation takes place under controlled temperature and pH conditions. The beans are then thoroughly washed with clean water and slowly dried on raised African beds under shelters for 15–25 days. This process helps preserve the purity of the flavor profile, fresh fruitiness, and subtle sweetness.
