INTRO

This is the second harvest pass from Diego Parra. Brother to Yessica Parra, this sibling project has produced some of the best lots of the season. In the cup we find candied lemon, red currant, and hibiscus.

THE PRODUCER

Diego Parra has a beautiful 14-hectare (approximately 35-acre) farm nestled in the mountains of southern Huila. This is our first year purchasing his coffee, and we have been deeply impressed by the care and attention to detail he brings to his work. This lot is sparkling clean and processed in a way that highlights the beauty of both variety and terroir.

THE PROCESS

The Washed process at La Hacienda involves meticulous handling:

• 🍒 Hand Picking — Cherries picked at peak ripeness
• 💧 Floating — Water flotation removes defects
• 🌙 In-Cherry Hold — Cherries held overnight before processing
• 🔧 De-Pulping — Cherries mechanically de-pulped
• ⏱️ Dry Fermentation — 36 hours without water
• 🚿 Washing — Seeds thoroughly washed after fermentation
• ☀️ Raised Bed Drying — Dried until moisture content reaches 10.5%

This careful processing creates sparkling clean coffees with vibrant acidity and clarity.

THE CUP

Sparkling clean and processed to highlight the beauty of both variety and terroir. Candied lemons, red currant, and hibiscus with exceptional clarity. A stunning expression of Pink Bourbon from southern Huila's second harvest.

What is the roast recency?

SEY doesn't advertise a roast preference to Filter or Espresso, instead they are roasted for the best amongst both - often called Omniroast. That being said, SEY  typically roast light.

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
