Farm Info
Fabian Murcia, as the head of Finca Las Guineas project, has formed a strategic alliance with specialty coffee producers Elkin Guzman and Rodrigo Sanchez. This collaboration aims to enhance coffee production, leading to a significant increase in crop growth throughout the year. Finca Las Guineas, a pioneering farm in Geisha variety trees, is diversifying and gaining greater market prominence through this partnership. The farm aims to solidify its position as one of the largest, characterized by a substantial number of Geisha trees that enable coffee expansion. This strategic move unifies transformation processes, aligning with the vision of other producers and contributing to sustainable coffee offerings worldwide.
Situated in the southern part of Huila department, in the municipality of Isnos, Finca Las Guineas is located at an altitude of 1900 meters above sea level. Positioned near the Colombian massif, where the Oriental, Central, and Occidental mountain ranges converge, the farm benefits from volcanic ash and sandy loam soils with excellent drainage. The temperature variation between 14 to 24 and 26 degrees Celsius throughout the year makes it an ideal environment for cultivating moldable material, connecting the journey from plant to cup for future projects.
Pink Bourbon Natural Process
The Pink Bourbon Natural processing method starts with harvesting beans at an average of 24° to 28° Brix degrees and a pH between 5.6 and 5.9. Following harvest, the cherries are fermented in the collection bags for the next 24 hours.
The coffee is floated to eliminate impurities and level the temperature and then placed in direct sunlight for the first 5 or 6 days, after which it is moved to the canopies under shade for the next 20 to 25 days until the drying process is complete.
