Apple and kiwifruit complete a silky mouthfeel.</span></b></p> <p>Luis Anibal Calderon’s specialty coffee, grown at his Villa Betulia farm, is a triumph of persistence and passion. His journey, from near closure to a beacon of exotic coffee varietals (including this Pink Bourbon), is a testament to his commitment.</p> <p><strong>We paid 116% above the Fair Trade Price for this coffee. <a href="https://www.rumblecoffee.com.au/blogs/transparency-project/colombia-luis-anibal-calderon" title="Colombia Luis Anibal - Transparency Report">Learn why.</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>This unique micro-lot is composed entirely of the Pink Bourbon varietal. The origin of this varietal is unknown, but it is speculated to have been a mutation occurring at an elevation of 2100 MASL in San Adolfo, Huila.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In 2011, Luis faced the possibility of losing his farm to foreclosure. His primary income source was selling coffee on the C-market, where prices barely covered production costs and loan repayments for the land he had purchased to expand his farm. In search of a solution, Luis turned to his local Specialty Coffee Association.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Although their offer to pay 15% above the C-price didn’t fully compensate for the extra effort involved in producing specialty-grade coffee, it was enough to sustain him and sparked his interest in this sector. Motivated, Luis planted 5,000 Geisha trees in 2012. After a long three-year wait for the trees to fruit, he became a firm believer in the specialty coffee sector.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In 2015, Luis embarked on a mission to convert his entire farm to exotic coffee varieties. More than half a decade later, his farm, Finca Villa Betulia, is a model for specialty coffee production in Acevedo, Huila. He now grows a range of exotic coffees, including Red Gesha, Sidra, Wush Wush, and Chilli Bourbon.</span></p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8">Luis selects only the ripest cherries for this coffee. After keeping them in an oxygen-rich environment for a day, the cherries undergo a closely monitored washed process.</p>
