Francy has been cultivating coffee for seven years on her two hectare farm in southern Huila.  Her and her husband, Gilberto, are both from coffee-growing families and it’s evident how passionate they are about excellence.  We selected her coffee out from the Copa de Oro competition held within Huila, and when asked about her coffee, she replied “last year I placed second in the competition.  This year, I expect to win.”  Francy’s coffee beat our over 60 top qualifying lots, and she is the first woman to take all around grand prize in the competition.

Her winning washed Pink Bourbon was floated right after coming in from the field so as to remove any underripe fruit and or debris. The cherry was then fermented intact for 12 hours, de-pulped, passed through a sieve called a zaranda to further remove unwanted beans, and fermented again in its mucilage, in a wooden tank, for 24 hours, rinsed and then dried on raised beds within a parabolic solar dryer lined with poly shade mesh.
