Candycane Roasters brings you a juicy Colombian coffee from the Villa Pastora farm, which will captivate you from the very first sip. The flavor is dominated by melon, pomelo, and honey —a light, sweet, and beautifully citrusy, juicy combination with a clean, distinct profile. The Pink Bourbon variety, processed naturally, gives the coffee a distinct fruitiness, gentle acidity, and a smooth body that strikes a balance between freshness and sweetness. The result is a playful yet elegant cup, ideal for your daily filter brew, no matter which brewing method you choose.
The coffee comes from the Villa Pastora family farm in Colombia’s Huila region , specifically in the Palestina area . It was founded in the 1980s by Pastora Anacona and is now run by the third generation of the Mora Ortega family , who carry on her legacy with a focus on quality and community. The coffee trees grow here at an altitude of around 1,680 meters above sea level in the shade of diverse vegetation, which slows the ripening of the cherries and enhances the complexity of the flavors. The farm also serves as a local hub—sharing expertise and assisting nearby growers with coffee processing and drying.
After harvest , the coffee undergoes a precise natural process that begins with the oxidation of the cherries and continues with a long fermentation in a closed environment (up to about 96 hours). The coffee is then dried using a combination of mechanical drying and slow post-drying in a drying house for about two weeks. This meticulous approach develops intense fruitiness, sweetness, and a fuller body, while preserving the clarity and structure of the resulting cup.
