Yet to miss an El Jaragual harvest, this time we've returned to one of their stand out varietals, the pink bourbon (or as some might remember, the 'percy pig' coffee).
You're immediately hit by a tonne of sweet, ripe strawberries. Tangy passionfruit joins the party (Marinda says it's a bit like drinking a melted solero!), along with our good gummy friend mr percy himself, and a cheeky herbal note of well...mary jane. Stone cold summer classic smashing it's way into your cups! You're welcome!
Shout out to Jonny at MiCafe for continuing to hook us up with the goods, especially as El Jaragual becomes more and more popular. We're very proud to say we're one of the few roasters in the world that have bought a lot from every single one of their harvests so far....
As they say: 'May we always have an El Jaragual coffee on our offer list. May you never tire of those magical flavours. May each harvest bring yet more delicious surprises. Long live El Jaragual!'
FROM OUR IMPORTERS - Mi Cafe Trading Co.
El Jaragual, spanning 150 hectares, is a family-operated farm overseen by Jorge Mira. Located at an elevation of 1500 MASL in Amalfi, Antioquia, Colombia, the farm is perfectly positioned in the northern area of the central Colombian Andes. This location is superb for cultivating premium coffee. A significant portion of El Jaragual is dedicated to forestry, leveraging Jorge's background as a forestry engineer. The farm features a blend of pine tree plantations aimed at sustainable timber production, alongside conserved areas of native forest. Currently, we cultivate seven coffee varieties at El Jaragual, shaded by plantain trees and other native agroforestry species. The coffee processing methods employed at El Jaragual are refined, involving extended fermentation phases with yeast inoculation and temperature adjustments, such as warm water rinses and cool water quenches, to enhance and stabilise the aromatic qualities developed during fermentation. This represents a thoughtful balance between traditional and modern processing techniques.
