Coffee Bio
Bambuco is a coffee with an authentic personality, crafted for those looking for the true character of origin in every cup. It comes from 60 coffee-growing families in Pitalito, Palestina and Oporapa in southern Huila, where volcanic soils, high elevations and ideal climate produce some of Colombia's finest coffees.
The coffee takes its name from the bambuco, the most emblematic musical rhythm and dance of the Colombian Andes and a proud symbol of Huila. During local celebrations, especially the Bambuco Festival, music, dance and coffee come together as expressions of regional identity.
Only ripe cherries of the Colombia, Castillo and Caturra varieties are hand-picked. The coffee is pulped immediately, fermented in concrete tanks for 48 to 60 hours, washed with fresh water and sun-dried for around 16 days.
The slow maturation gives rich, deep flavours, with dark notes balanced by a juicy acidity: well suited to espresso and French press.
