Sweet and creamy. Finca La Luisa sits at 1,720 masl in Antioquia, near San Bernardo de los Farallones. Run by Juan Pablo Vélez, the farm has built a strong reputation for pushing fermentation in a controlled, repeatable way, with a focus on clarity rather than excess. This lot follows a double carbonic maceration process in pressurised stainless steel tanks. Whole cherries are first placed in the tank and flushed with CO₂ to create an oxygen-free environment. They remain there for 5 days, developing structure and complexity. After this stage, the fermentation juice is extracted and kept.The cherries are then depulped and returned to fermentation, this time with the extracted juice from the first stage combined with fresh straeberries. This second fermentation continues for another 3 days.Finally, the coffee is dried for around 5 days, allowing it to stabilise while preserving the character built during fermentation. What stands out here is the control - the fruit is integrated into the process, not layered on top. It adds character without taking over.
