/lb
This is one of Sebastian’s latest creations, crafted with the intention of offering something unique while maintaining balance. This rare variety delivers a distinctly spiced and herbal profile, with a medium body and a juicy texture. It undergoes two fermentation stages: first, a dry fermentation in cherry without water, followed by a second stage with water added after depulping, which enhances the sweetness of the cup.

How this coffee was produced
This is a red honey process, meaning that the cherries are fermented for a long time and the mucilague turns red when drying.
Harvesting
The coffee is hand-picked and carefully sorted, with 95% of the cherries fully ripe. It is then immediately fermented for 96 hours in a sealed tank with added CO₂
Processing and Fermentation
After the cherry fermentation, they are depulped and fermented with water for another 96 hours, in closed tanks with a valve
Dryng
Dried in open patios at a controled temperatured of 40 degrees celcisus, with a 2-phase drying in shade lasting around 5 days.
Sebastian Ramirez
A fourth-generation coffee farmer, Sebastian specializes in Carbonic Maceration & varietal innovation, pushing the boundaries of specialty coffee.
El Placer
Sebastian's farm operates as a processing facility rather than a traditional coffee farm. In the 1980s, it was a large coffee estate in Quindío, but today, only half of its original production remains active. He oversees the purchase of cherries grown on the farm and sources select specialty varieties from Huila—currently, his Geisha and some Pink Bourbon come from there. Sebastian is responsible for processing and developing flavor profiles, ensuring the highest quality in every batch. Additionally, he has recently acquired a new farm, where he plans to focus on cultivating more exclusive varietals such as wush wush, Sl 28, etc. that are not easily grown in his region.
