About the Producer

Lisandro Cardenas Castro grew up around coffee and says he inherited the trade from his father. After studying coffee production through Colombia's National Learning Service (SENA), he started building his own operation in Acevedo, Huila, where he now grows Caturra, Gesha and Pink Bourbon on his five-hectare farm.

Only the ripest cherries are selected at harvest, with careful processing and drying helping to bring out the depth and sweetness this region is known for.

This one leans into the darker side of fruit-forward coffee. Plum wine leads the way, bringing rich jammy sweetness and a touch of boozy character. Toffee rounds everything out with a buttery sweetness before a lingering cacao nib finish adds structure and depth.

Big, bold and comforting — the kind of coffee that keeps revealing something new as it cools.

Recommended for all filter brewing methods & espresso.

Best enjoyed black — but as always, who are we to tell you how to drink your coffee.

We hope you enjoy it!!
