El Recuerdo - Colombia

About El Recuerdo Rafael Hoyos is a second-generation coffee grower who grew up in the region, learning to work the land from a young age. Back in 2020, it was his turn to lead Finca El Recuerdo. Every member of the family helps around the farm, everything from land management to harvesting to sales! In addition to coffee, they grow cassava, plantain, and corn. Plus, there’s also a protected reserve within the 6-acre farm. Sounds like a dream! After careful picking, the pink bourbon cherries are put in sealed plastic barrels to dry ferment (no water added) for 72 hours. After depulping, the coffee is fermented again in sealed barrels for up to 2.5 days before being washed and dried on open patios. What results is a deliciously fruity and creamy cup, one we simultaneously want to gulp down and savor every sip because it’s just so dang good. You’re going to want to grab a bag (or two or three!) of this sweet sipper.
