Behind this exceptional flavor is Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia, who represents the third generation of farmers from the Finca Monteblanco farm in Colombia . His farm is located in the Huila region, near the protected Cueva de los Guacharos National Park and the Suaza River. The high altitude and unique microclimate give this area ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee. Rodrigo grows varieties such as Geisha, Pink Bourbon, and Caturra, which is the basis for Tropicana, on his farm. The Caturra variety is known for its citrus freshness and delicate sweetness, which is exactly what makes this coffee so special.
Tropicana undergoes a natural + coferment process, in which a mixture of 10 types of yeast, dried coconut, cholupa (Colombian citrus) and sweeteners such as molasses or panela are added to the coffee cherries. First, the fruit mixture is fermented for 8 days, then the coffee cherries are added and the process continues for another 180 hours. This unique process ensures that the coffee has a truly distinctive tropical profile that is juicy, fragrant, and absolutely unforgettable. Tropicana is simply a coffee for those who want to taste something different, fun , and tropical—a coffee that will always surprise and never disappoint.
