Don Díaz is a veteran producer that has consistently showcased the potential of each variety he cultivates. His Pink Bourbon is BIG with fruit sugars, viscous and cools tart with an apple medley. This lot pushes heavy saccarines & a rich body.

Carlos only collects ripe coffee beans and processes them the same day; he de-pulps and then dry ferments them for between 45 and 50 hours in a traditional tiled tank. Once the fermentation process is complete, he washes the coffee three times and dries it in a greenhouse, which can take between 12 and 15 days depending on weather conditions. 

Carlos and his wife Luisa bought the farm about 27 years ago, at that time Carlos was working for other coffee farms in the south of Huila and he learned everything from them. He found his passion for the crop and saw a good economic opportunity to raise a family with coffee, so he invested all his savings to buy his farm Finca la Esperanza.
