THE PRODUCER

Quindio is the beautiful heart of the Colombian coffee
belt, and Finca El Placer, in Calarca is owned by fourth
generation producer Sebastian Ramirez who has been
running the estate for over 10 years. He utilises washed,
honey and natural processing with a twist, and has a
beautiful array of heritage varietals, including Geisha, Red,
Pink & Yellow Bourbon and Wush Wush. All processing
undergoes extended, carbonic fermentation and Sebastian
often adds coffee “must” from the cherries to aid flavour
development during the long fermentation. The coffees
are then slowly dried on patios and raised tables.
His series of fruit fermentation coffees are both fun and
tasty, and we love this tropical, Yellow Fruits version that
balances the sweet, fruity flavours with a complex acidity.

About Colombia El Placer - Yellow Fruits (Carbonic)

Sebastian Ramirez and his El Placer farm, based in Calarca, Quindio, is a true coffee pioneer. We really feel that Sebastian is a producer at the top of his game right now, crafting complex, yet delicious and drinkable, coffees. With this coffee, Caturra arabica has undertaken a 120 hour carbonic honey process (at 18°C), and the addition of dehydrated, yellow fruits and fruit glucose with an additional 72 hours of fermentation.
