Origin Story
This lot comes from Finca La Palmera, a family farm established by Don Octavio Rodriguez, who purchased the first 12 hectares back in 1969. Through the years, he continued expanding the farm while also pursuing his career as a medical doctor and hospital director.

Today the farm is 170 hectares and headed by Don Octavio's son, Ignacio who is driving efforts to improve quality by introducing newer agricultural methods and processing. We are proud to feature El Embrujo's Pink Bourbon, a coffee that is very clean and sweet with an underlying complexity that is sure to excite. 

Processing
During the harvest, after the cherries are handpicked, they are delivered to the mill to be processed the same day. The cherries are floated in a tank of water to remove lower quality floaters, and then transferred to moving belts where staff pick out any unripe or damaged cherries. 

The cherries are then stored in 25kg plastic bags which are then placed in 2,500kg tanks. The tank is filled with water to create an oxygen-less (anaerobic) environment. The cherries ferment for 96 hours and pH and Brix (sugar content) are measured frequently to ensure the proper level of fermentation is reached. Following fermentation, the cherries are placed in mechanical dryers on low heat to dry for approximately 140 hours.
