YULIETH MORA - PINK BOURBON, NATURAL - COLOMBIA

VILLA PASTORA FARM, LOCATED IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PALESTINA, HUILA, WAS ACQUIRED IN THE 1980S BY MRS. PASTORA ANACONA, YULIETH AND GERSON’S PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER. SHE INITIATED THE COFFEE TRADITION ON THE FARM BY PLANTINGTHE FIRST COFFEE TREES. SINCE THEN, THIS PASSION FOR COFFEE HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE MORA ORTEGA FAMILY, NOW IN ITS THIRD GENERATION OF COFFEE GROWERS. ÁLVARO MORA, YULIETH’S FATHER, HAS BEEN A CENTRAL FIGURE IN MAINTAINING AND EXPANDING THIS LEGACY. THE FARM SERVES AS A TRIBUTE TO ÁLVARO’S MOTHER, WHO FIRST PLANTED THE SEEDS THAT WOULD GROW INTO A THRIVING COFFEE BUSINESS. RUN AS A FAMILY EFFORT, VILLA PASTORA EMPLOYS SUSTAINABLE METHODS AND PRIORITIZES PRODUCT QUALITY. 

AFTER HARVEST, THIS COFFEE UNDERGOES OXIDATION FOR 48 HOURS. IT RESTS FOR ANOTHER 48 HOURS IN FERMENTATION IN SEALED TANKS. IT IS THEN MOVED TO A MECHANICAL DRYER FOR 8 HOURS, FOLLOWED BY 14 DAYS IN A DRYING SHED.

YULIETH AND THE FAMILY ARE A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND INTERNATIONAL BUYERS.

THEY BUY CHERRY FROM THEIR NEIGHBORS TO CAREFULLY PROCESS, AND THEY ALSO SELL THEIR OWN

FARM’S COFFEE. SOME OF THE COFFEE IS WASHED, BUT THEIR SPECIALTY IS CAREFULLY PROCESSED

NATURALS. THEY CUP EVERY LOT TO ENSURE QUALITY AND LEARN MORE ABOUT PROCESSING.
