This coffee was processed using a series of controlled fermentation stages designed to maximise flavour and showcase the pedigree of cherries grown in the fertile soils of southwest Huila.
The first stage started with a 24-hour fermentation, keeping the whole cherry intact, allowing the fruit’s natural sugars to enhance the inherent qualities of this lot. The cherries were then depulped and moved into sealed barrels for 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation – a no-oxygen environment that guides a more controlled development of flavour. A single wash followed before the coffee moved to raised beds for a slow, even 22-day dry, reaching a target moisture content of 10–11%.
The result is a coffee that reflects both precise post-harvest technique and the inherent quality of its origin – a clear expression of what careful fermentation and exceptional growing conditions can achieve.

Linarco Rodriguez and his family have managed three farms across three generations, working some of the most fertile, biodiverse soils in southwest Huila. It’s an environment that consistently elevates their coffees and earning them repeated recognition in Colombia’s national Cup of Excellence competitions – a long-standing benchmark for quality.
This lot comes from La Betania, a 32-hectare farm planted with Caturra, Tabi, Pink Bourbon, Castillo and Geisha. That diversity in varieties mirrors the diversity in flavour: Linarco’s coffees celebrate the full spectrum of profiles possible from high-quality Colombian terroir.
