Aptly named "Las Perlitas" or "Little Pearls," this beautifully complex washed lot is a celebration of dedicated smallholder producers across the Huila region of Colombia, including municipalities like Santa Maria, Garzon, Pitalito, and Palestina. This special offering is carefully curated by combining exceptional micro-lots that are too small to be exported individually, but boast incredible cup scores and profiles. Cultivated at elevations ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 meters above sea level, the blend features a mix of high-quality varieties heavily weighted with Pink Bourbon, alongside Caturra and occasionally Geisha. By uniting these tiny, high-quality harvests, this initiative rewards farmers for their meticulous, quality-driven practices without penalizing them for low volume. The result is a vibrant, fruit-forward cup that captivates with sweet notes of strawberry, kiwi, mango, and peach, balanced by a lively hint of orange sangria and an elegant, winey finish.

This washed Colombian coffee from Huila showcases Pink Bourbon, a varietal cultivated at 1600–2000 meters above sea level. Roasted by Revolver Coffee, the lot displays stone fruit and wine-forward character—kiwi, peach, and winey notes—typical complexity from washed-process coffees that emphasize clarity and acidity. Pink Bourbon is increasingly sought for its distinctive flavor profile, often revealing bright, fruit-driven qualities through careful handling and elevation. This lot represents the varietal's characteristic vibrancy within Colombia's renowned coffee region.
