This is our first time working with Brayan and his coffee. This cherry seed is a sweet and puckery treat. The cup is syrupy in texture with lively notes of citrus and malic acidity. Joven's profile sure is sugary, remnicient of a strawberry-rhubarb reduction. This lot displays classic characteristics of Pink B. tropicality extended with a full bodied range of slightly underripe berry to heavy, super ripe stonefruit.
Finca La Esperanza is located in Timaná, Huila, Colombia, and is managed by Brayan Joven, a 33-year-old, third-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 2.5 hectares with 6,000 trees of several varieties. Harvest is unique at Finca La Esperanza; This involves picking coffee cherries on Monday and letting them ferment overnight. On Tuesday, he picks more cherries and depulps the ones from the previous day, continuing this process until Friday when all the batches are washed together. This imparts a very complex fermentation gradient, with fermentations ranging from 12-96 hours. After the coffee is washed, it is laid to dry in a greenhouse structure for approximately 20 days.
Brayan’s family has a rich coffee tradition that spans back to the last century, starting with his grandparents and passed down through generations to the present day. Brayan purchased his own farm, Finca La Esperanza, 18 years ago and has over 20 years of coffee craftmanship!
Keeping it in the family, Brayan’s brother and father also own nearby farms, contributing to a collaborative effort. They work together seamlessly by rotating farms weekly and efficiently dividing labor. Their collective ambition is clear: to produce the best coffee in Colombia! Given the dedication and expertise they invest in their craft, this goal does not seem far off.
Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date.
