At 1,750 MASL in Acevedo's cool mountain conditions, its characteristic tropical fruit sweetness and vibrant acidity are given full room to develop — and under the Las Flores advanced multi-stage fermentation, they reach a particularly vivid and candy-like expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced Washed process at Las Flores involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💧 Disinfection — Cherries disinfected by immersion in water containing 5% alcohol 🔒 36-hour anaerobic fermentation — Whole cherries fermented anaerobically for 36 hours 🌬️ 12-hour oxidation — Transferred to open tanks for 12 hours of aerobic oxidation 🔧 Depulping — Outer skin removed after the oxidation phase 🔒 Second 36-hour anaerobic fermentation — Depulped beans fermented anaerobically for a further 36 hours to enhance aromatic complexity 🌡️ Thermal shock — Hot water at 50°C followed by cold water at 20°C for 30 minutes, locking in aromatic and volatile compounds developed during fermentation 🌬️ Sealed dehumidifier drying — Dried in a sealed stainless steel dehumidifier for 36–40 hours until reaching 11% moisture content ⏳ One-week stabilisation — Coffee rested for one week after drying to fully stabilise the profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock are the defining steps — by fermenting twice in sealed anaerobic conditions with an oxidation phase between, then locking the resulting compounds through thermal shock, Diego builds the tropical fruit vibrancy and lollipop candy sweetness that define this lot, while the sealed dehumidifier drying and extended rest ensure an exceptionally stable and consistent final cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vivid, candy-forward, and compellingly layered advanced washed Pink Bourbon from one of Huila's most celebrated and competition-proven family farms — tropical fruit brightness, lollipop sweetness, and a warm rooibos tea depth in a well-defined and deeply enjoyable cup.
