Kokoro - Colombia: Washed, Caturra

A special release from Jaimie Burbano in Colombia just in time for summer! Kokoro has always been used exclusively for Jaimie's coffee, a special farmer for us since he is the first farmer we worked with back in 2020. This year we are offering a small caturra lot, which has some distinct differences from a Pink Bourbon which has become far more common in the region. Kokoro is a Japanese word meaning interconnectedness, or the heart and soul of something. This perfectly fits Jaimie's farm and the importance of him in the Monkaaba group in San Agustin Huila. Our roasting team had a chance to visit his El Guayabo farm in 2024, a truly a magical place filled with tropical fruit trees. Complete with a pulley system made out of an old Yamaha motorcycle. The coffee has intense floral and tropical fruit aromas, the cup is syrupy sweet, with notes of fig, raspberry, prune and sugar. Roasted as a filter profile, punchy fruit flavours will shine on all filter methods and cold brew.
