History

This is our second year working with Yermy Pedraza. La Joya Natural is produced by Yermy Pedraza, a third generation coffee producer, in the Nariño region in Colombia and this particular coffee is a blend of three different varietals, Bourbon, Pink Bourbon and Castillo. The expression of this coffee is sweet with notes of dark cherry and blackberries.

This blend of Caturra, Castillo, Colombia coffee underwent Natural processing. Sorted cherries were placed into sealed bags with a starter culture taken from Yermi’s other processes and fermented in an anaerobic environment for five days. The fermented cherries were then dried on raised beds for 10 days, and finally dried in a mechanical drier for an additional two days.
