Colombia Hermanos Vergara Tabi - Filter

The Colombia Washed Tabi personifies the artistry and innovation of Colombian coffee production, coming from the picturesque region of Acevedo in Huila, Colombia, at an elevation of 1750 meters above sea level. This exceptional coffee is grown at Finca Las Flores, under the care of Diego and Jhoan, two brothers inspired by the legacy of their late mother, Doña Nubia. Her passion for coffee remains the driving force behind their move from traditional farming to pioneering fermentation methods and the adoption of cutting-edge technology in their processing. Today, their work is marked by the strategic use of three key machines that play a crucial role in their quest for quality and consistency. The journey from cherry to cup is marked by a high attention to detail, with each step carefully orchestrated to preserve the coffee's pristine quality. Harvested at a semi-ripe stage, the cherries undergo a carefully managed protocol designed to mitigate intense fermented flavours while enhancing their inherent characteristics. Following selection, the cherries move through a series of fermentation stages, including oxidation and thermal shock, to unlock their full potential. The fermentation is abruptly interrupted using a combination of hot and cold-water quenching, eliminating microbial load while fixing the volatile compounds released during fermentation. Precision drying serves as the final stage of the journey, where the coffee is carefully dried in a hermetically sealed stainless-steel dehumidifier until reaching optimal moisture content. This approach preserves fragrance, aroma, and taste, ensuring that each cup delivers a sensory experience of unparalleled quality and complexity.
