Strawberry, Pineapple Juice, Kiwi

Our third coffee from Paola does not disappoint. This is a punchy fruit bomb with much to appreciate throughout the cup. Lots of tropical fruits and sugars sit in profile where you can basically name any fruit and pick it up in the flavor. We really dig these styles of coffee - not too fermenty while embracing the fruit side of production. We bought a ton of this, which means we’re slightly pricing it a touch lower to be able to go through it before it ages. Which means this is more bang for your buck. I’ll be roasting this a touch more developed than I usually do for naturals, I want to express more so the sugar than the acid in the cup, it’s worth highlighting. -Jonathan

Finca Patio Bonito Coffee Production

Patio Bonito is a hardworking and innovative family-run farm in Caldono, Cauca. Founder Carlos Arturo Trujillo has been a coffee farmer for almost 50 years, and he says, "It has been a long road, but in the end, it is very satisfactory." He is assisted on his farm by his daughter, Paola Trujillo, who has been especially integral in helping Carlos perfect the fermentation process for his coffee. Paola spent many years previously working as a cupper and buyer in Nariño and Huila for an exporting company. After returning to the farm in 2022, she has innovated how they process their washed and natural coffees, including “thermal shock” and anaerobic modulations to their processes.

The total area of the farm is 11 hectares, with 9 hectares of coffee, or 47,000 coffee trees across 13 varieties, including Castillo, Colombia, and Pink Bourbon, Gesha, Typica, SL-28, Red Bourbon, Java, Bourbon "Aji", Sidra, Pacamara, Laurina, and Wush Wush. The Trujillo family are passionate in their pursuit of quality, and in their attention to detail in every aspect of the farm. According to the Trujillo's, all operations at Patio Bonito are grounded in three core values: food security, soil conservation and management, and coffee cultivation. The farm's mission is "to provide alternatives and training to farmers and students on the management, conservation, and exploration of natural resources and the environment," and the family's philosophy is, “The best legacy we can leave to our children is: love, knowledge, and a planet in which to live."
