From Prodigal: This anaerobic washed red bourbon is a process-forward coffee with tons of fruit flavor, and a little more funky flavor than we usually offer. We've priced this coffee barely above what we paid!
Jorge Rojas, born in 1988, began working on his family's coffee farm at the age of 12 after the loss of his father. Ending his formal education after the third grade, he dedicated himself fully to coffee farming, developing a passion for producing high-end, specialty coffee. Jorge joined the ASOPEP Planadas association, where he adopted ecological farming techniques and, along with 300 other farms, achieved an organic BIO certification. His commitment has made him one of the few producers of organic, high-end specialty coffee in the region.
By 2021, Jorge expanded his operations by purchasing coffee cherries from his family and neighbors. He now owns three farms and processes cherries from 12 different farms at his village processing plant. His meticulous processing of this lot involves a 24-hour fermentation in cherry, followed by 36 hours in fermentation tanks after pulping. The coffee is then fully washed and dried for 200 hours, using a mechanical method that mimics natural drying, offering greater control regardless of weather conditions. This process, including rest periods and humidity stabilization, helps enhance the quality and consistency of his coffee. Jorge collaborates closely with partners to continually refine processing techniques, resulting in standout offerings like this fruity Red Bourbon anaerobic washed coffee.
