Colombia Maria Rodriguez SL28 Honey Filter - Single Origin

Description

Colombia Maria Rodriguez SL28 Honey Filter - Single Origin. At Finca Betania in Palestina, Huila, Maria Rodriguez co‑leads the farm alongside her husband Linarco Rodriguez, within a cooperative network of 117 smallholder families. United by a commitment to soil health, biodiversity, and chemical free farming, the group has invested in shared infrastructure; cupping labs, professional drying stations, and centralised warehouses. This results in lifting overall quality while maintaining full traceability back to each producer. This lot showcases Finca Betania’s focus on gentle, intentional processing. Ripe cherries are hand picked and sorted, then carefully depulped so that a thin, even layer of mucilage or ‘honey’ remains on the parchment. Just enough mucilage is left to enhance sweetness and body without risking over fermentation; dictated by experienced hands. The coffee is then dried slowly on raised beds under controlled conditions, allowing sugars to concentrate and fruit characteristics to develop while preserving clarity.
