INTRO
Brothers Argemiro and Darwin Bustos have developed a reputation for producing beautifully refined lots at Finca El Porvenir. Their organic Tabi stands apart for its precision: a clean, structured cup that balances perky grapefruit acidity with nuanced cherry sweetness in equal measure.
Prodigal describes this as a refined, vibrant offering — and it's easy to see why. The Tabi variety, a Colombian cross of Timor, Bourbon, and Typica, lends this coffee a distinctive character that expresses itself most clearly through a careful washed process.
THE PRODUCER
The Bustos brothers manage Finca El Porvenir with a commitment to organic production and meticulous post-harvest care. Their partnership in the farm means both agronomy and processing receive dedicated attention — an arrangement that consistently delivers clean, well-defined lots.
Tabi is a variety developed by Cenicafé in Colombia, named from the Guambiano indigenous word for "good". It combines the cup quality of Typica and Bourbon with the disease resistance of Timor Hybrid, making it a prized cultivar for producers who want both flavour and agronomic resilience.
THE PROCESS
The Washed process at Finca El Porvenir involves:
- 🍒 Selective Harvest — Only ripe cherries picked by hand
- 🔧 Depulping — Fruit skin removed mechanically
- 📅 Fermentation — 24-hour tank fermentation
- 💧 Washing — Coffee washed clean of remaining mucilage
- ☀️ Drying — Dried on raised beds to ensure even moisture reduction
The controlled fermentation and careful wash accentuate the inherent cleanliness of the Tabi variety, allowing its grapefruit acidity and cherry sweetness to shine through unobstructed.
THE CUP
This is a refined and vibrant cup, structured around perky grapefruit acidity and a nuanced cherry sweetness. It's clean and expressive — the kind of washed Colombia that rewards attention without demanding it.
