ꌚꂑꁒꐇ꒒ꋫ꓅ꂑꆂꁹ 3 - SUNNY D - Sebastian Ramirez

Farmer: Sebastián Ramírez

Origin: El placer - Quindio, Colombia

Altitude: ~2000m

Process: honey co-ferment

Varietal: Caturra

Roast Level: light

Notes: orange sherbet, mango, passionfruit flake

Dubbed "Orange fruit", this is a wild co-ferment from Seb Ramirez using all sorts of fruit pulp! This thing tastes like creamy mango, passionfruit, orange deliciousness. For us, we enjoyed that this particular co-ferment had a little more brightness than others tend to have, so if you like a little more bright acidity to your coffee, you'll appreciate this one. It still remains rather round but, you'll get the point once you sip it ; )

EL PLACER

Tucked high in the verdant hills of Quindío, Colombia, El Placer Farms feels like an old-coffee country fairy tale with a modern twist. Altitude between roughly 1500-1744 m (and higher in select lots) gives the beans breath and time to stretch their legs. The founder, Sebastián Ramírez, took his father’s small plot, his own curiosity and the boldness of countless sunrise coffee picks, and built something much larger: an ecosystem of farms, driven not just by yield, but by character. 

Their motto could be “no shortcuts, lots of curiosity.” They lean into experimental processing (co-fermentations, controlled drying, even “mosto” activators—yes, they go there) to pull out flavour profiles that make you pause, sip, then lean in for a second and third look.
