What Ripsnorter says about this coffee
Producer: Frank HoyosFarm: Finca El Encanto Region: Pitalito, HuilaVariety: OmbligonProcess: Washed
Fermentation: Yeast InoculatedAltitude: 1.650 masl
Tasting Notes: Dried Violet, bubblegum, peach
High in the hills of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, at 1,650 metres above sea level, Frank Hoyos grows this beautiful Ombligon variety at Finca El Encanto. A coffee that brings together careful cherry selection, creative fermentation and a wonderfully expressive flavour profile.
The journey begins with perfectly ripe cherries, selected at sugar levels between 22 and 28 Brix. The cherries undergo 35 hours of oxidation before being cleaned, depulped and transferred into open fermentation tanks for another 15 hours.
This is where Frank takes things a little further. The coffee receives a warm water treatment at 35°C before selected yeast cultures associated with lemon and peach extracts are introduced. The coffee then spends another 35 hours submerged in water inside sealed tanks, with time and temperature carefully controlled to develop its tropical character.
After fermentation, the coffee is washed, dried in the sun for 12 hours and finished with 40 hours of mechanical drying to preser…

How it sits among coffee from Colombia
Ripsnorter describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Colombia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
floral is unusual here — 17% of coffee from Colombia are described that way.

Tasting notes
…tasting notes: Dried Violet, bubblegum, peach… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
A further 7 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
