"This Bourbon Aji follows a straightforward, clean process designed to highlight the natural attributes of the variety. The cherries are harvested and pre-selected to remove any unripe fruit, then floated to separate defects. After depulping, the coffee is placed in open plastic tanks for 12 hours, where light oxidation allows microorganisms to naturally enhance its complexity. It is then washed and moved to the drying phase. Marlon crafted this process with the intention of bringing out the variety’s finest qualities: a tropical sweetness reminiscent of pineapple and mandarin, a creamy body, and a lingering floral finish."

Marlon Bolaños
Marlon grew up knowing coffee as his family’s livelihood, but it wasn’t until a barismo course at 17 that he began to see its deeper potential. What started as curiosity became commitment: planting differentiated varieties, refining fermentation through trial and error, and building Three Coffee Farmers alongside his two brothers. From the spring water filtered through rock on his farm — now known among competitors as “champions’ water” — to his dream of producing a winning auction lot, Marlon represents a new generation of producers shaping their future with intention, patience, and vision.
The Three Coffee Farmers
Marlon's farm is a generational piece of land that together with his brothers, they want to create an speciality hub in Acevedo, Huila
