Colombian Premium Huila – Finca La Ilusion Natural Processed

(1 customer review)

$7.49

*THIS IS A VERY EXOTIC COLOMBIAN – make sure you like Natural Processed coffees before putting this one in your cart. Very fruity with clear slow dry fermentation and a stronger winy factor. Unlike other Colombians but a very awesome and high rated offering for natural processed fans.

A lovely coffee from light to dark. Lighter roasts have some decent acidity and very strong fruity tones, almost raspberry like with the acidity in the cup, sweet edged with some hints of a nutty and chocolaty undertone. If you love fruity naturals, keep it on the lighter side for an exotic treat. This coffee is fruity enough where it retains throughout the roasts levels, medium to dark roasts build almost a mokka/java like blend all in a single origin offering. Strong chocolate tones mixing with a strong red fruit, a little smoky/roasty but we thought it complimenting the cup profile.

Having the support of export company year after year builds a producer’s confidence resulting in excellent coffee. This is certainly the case between Inconexus, a Colombian export company, and Rosevel Ortiz Escarpeta, a producer with more than 20 years of experience working in coffee.

Rosevel and his wife have a 12 acre farm called La Ilusión located in the community of Villa Fátima within the municipality of San Agustin, Huila.

Inconexus has invested in Rosevel’s farm and serves as an excellent partner.  The quality of Rosevel’s coffee has benefited from the investments (Took 26th place in Colombia’s 2019 COE) and his personal desire to produce specialty coffee is fortified from knowing he has the support of Inconexus.

Inconexus has helped Rosevel improve his farm management protocol, particular related to pruning and fertilizing. Inconexus has also helped him learn to process coffee using the natural process (which is very tricky). Ripe cherries for this natural processed coffee were carefully hand sorted and floated to remove less dense beans. Then the cherries were placed on raised beds in thin layers and moved regularly with a mixed exposure to sun and shade to slowly and evenly reduce moisture over a period of 25 days.

Tasting Notes: A lovely coffee from light to dark. Lighter roasts have some decent acidity and very strong fruity tones, almost raspberry like with the acidity in the cup, sweet edged with some hints of a nutty and chocolaty undertone. If you love fruity naturals, keep it on the lighter side for an exotic treat. This coffee is fruity enough where it retains throughout the roasts levels, medium to dark roasts build almost a mokka/java like blend all in a single origin offering. Strong chocolate tones mixing with a strong red fruit, a little smoky/roasty but we thought it complimenting the cup profile.

Roasting Notes: These beans can be a little tricky to roast, a bit uneven and very high chaff but a tasty treat worth the effort for natural processed fans. Reduce batch size a bit on this one. Tasty and easy to hit roast point would be to cool it right away as it touches 2nd crack, will have some roasty tones but tasty and one can work backwards if you want it lighter from there.

    An amazing cup of coffee esp. when you are able to roast the raspberry flavor through – very exquisite and elegant. Even if you miss the raspberry notes you will have a chocolate depth.
