This coffee comes from the town of Planadas, in the Tolima region of Colombia. The Enciso Franco family have owned El Triunfo since 2014. Camilo Enciso is a well respected figure in the region, and great advocate for co-operative farming in the Planadas area.

This coffee is 100% Bourbon, which is a variety of Arabica coffee that is well known for its excellent fruit quality. The trees are quite tall, low- yielding and are susceptible to most known coffee plant diseases. With more farmers focusing on hybrid species, which give greater yield and disease resistance, it’s becoming more and more rare to enjoy single variety coffees.

The cherries are hand-picked when ripe, meticulously sorted, then left to sit for 24 hours, exposed to air. The cherries are then dry pulped and placed in containers for 96-144 hours depending on temperature. The coffee is then washed with clean water and left to dry on wooden floors for 24-48 hours until it reaches 30-40% moisture. It is then transferred to purpose-built multi-tiered drying racks that protect the coffee from exceeding 40°C while drying to the desired moisture level in 20-35 days. The coffee is frequently turned to ensure even drying.

All of this effort shows in the cup. A luxuriously rich and sweet coffee.
