2026 Hermilda Zapata; El Rosal - Colombia

This is an exceptional separation from Alo's Safo site. The cherry comes from extreme altitudes and is a staggering example of the quality this special place can produce. In the cup we find a floral expression of honeysuckle, bergamot, nectarine, and silver needle.

This is our second lot from Harold Ortiz Ceron, a new producer in San Pablo, Nariño. This Chiroso separation is the first Chiroso we have ever released from San Pablo. In the cup we find ripe strawberry, tangerine, and oolong.

This is a special release, as it is rare to see Pink Bourbon being cultivated in Nariño. We are honored to have been introduced to Harold Ceron, who is now producing many exceptional varieties on his new farm. In the cup we find blueberry, blood orange, and raspberry.

Chelbessa has long been one of our favorite sites to work with in Gedeb, and we are pleased to welcome this year’s selection to the menu. In the cup we find stone fruit, citrus, and lemon verbena.

One of the longest and best seasons we have ever seen in Urrao has also brought new growth to our project there. In this lot, our first from Elpidio Tabares, we find passion fruit, lychee, and citrus.

This continues our slow shift toward the southern Huila season, and the exploration of the new Santa María region. In the cup we find bright red berries, lime, and wildflower honey.

This is our first release of the upcoming Rwandan season. We look forward to these coffees every year, and this lot is a fitting start. In the cup we find mulling spices, orange peel, and baked fruit.

This lot continues our exploration of Santa María in Huila. It is our first year working with Luz Rivera, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to showcase this lot. In the cup we find raspberry, citrus, and wildflower honey.
