"Upon grounding, the aroma exudes notes of cantaloupe, blueberry, and grape. The tasting experience opens with the refreshing sweetness of cantaloupe and grape, followed by the rich, fruity taste of blueberry. The finish carries the smooth and creamy essence of strawberry yogurt, resulting in a well-balanced and sweet profile."

Located in the Palestina municipality of Huila, Colombia, Villa Pastora is a coffee gem led by the passionate Álvaro Arley Mora Anacona. This enchanting 8-hectare farm has been cultivating exceptional coffee for over 30 years, carrying forward a rich family legacy.

Villa Pastora was founded in the 1980s by Álvaro's grandmother, Pastora, who was the first to plant Typica coffee trees on the farm. Over the years, the coffee trees have grown into the heart of the family, and today, the farm is managed by the second and third generations of the Mora Anacona family. The family's dedication to coffee farming has transformed Villa Pastora into a symbol of success in the specialty coffee industry, continuously innovating to produce high-quality beans.

Situated at an elevation of 1,680 meters above sea level, Villa Pastora boasts ideal conditions for cultivating coffee. The farm is home to 20,000 coffee plants, including the Caturro, Tabí, and Bourbon Rosado varieties. The harvest season, from October to December, brings forth exceptional cherries, each carefully nurtured to ensure the highest quality.

This particular selection features the Bourbon Rosado variety, named for the rosy pink color of its cherries. During harvest, cherries are meticulously picked when they meet the color standard defined for Bourbon Rosado. The cherries are then placed inside HDPE drums with an exhaust valve for 64 hours to initiate anaerobic fermentation. To ensure consistency and avoid over-fermentation, the cherries are mechanically dried for 21 hours, reaching the optimal moisture level. After drying, the cherries are rested for 20 days before hulling, allowing the flavors to mature.

Beyond their love for coffee, the Mora Anacona family is deeply committed to supporting their community. They provide fermentation guidance and drying services to fellow farmers, promoting sustainable, chemical-free practices.
