Colombia La Palma & El Tucan Raul Gutierrez Mixed Process

Colombia La Palma & El Tucan Estate [Community Crop Program]

Raul Gutierrez Small Farmer Double Fermentation Process

Flavor Description:

A rich aroma of brown-sugar latte, cream, and walnut, with the thick sweetness of macadamia nuts and starfruit,

Delicate flavors of seedless grapes, Golden Delicious apples, and grape seeds,

Milk-like smoothness and roundness, with a long, delicate finish.

La Palma & El Tucan Estate was established around 2011,

Founded by a team of mad scientists, passionate founders, persistent farmers,

and talented artists working together.

One of the founders, Felipe, has been involved in specialty coffee for over ten years.

He previously ran a green-bean trading business in the United States,

and around 2010 he decided to return to Colombia to join the specialty coffee revolution in his hometown.

The lovely host Elisa, perhaps romantically because she fell in love with Felipe,

also fell in love with coffee and joined this magical journey.

Fittingly, the estate's logo and theme colors were designed by Elisa,

and after visiting the site, even the ladders are madly pink. Carlos,

the mad and persistent scientist, has been Felipe's old friend in the specialty coffee industry,

and as soon as he learned of his friends' plan, he threw himself into it wholeheartedly.

La Palma & El Tucan Estate is just such a romantic and magical combination.

Unlike traditional coffee producers,

the founders didn't inherit any coffee estate from those who came before.

Instead, they searched from scratch for what they considered the ideal coffee-growing environment (Ecotopo).

After visiting over one hundred estates,

they finally found land in the Cundinamarca region, about a one-and-a-half-hour drive from the capital, Bogota,

on the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, at an altitude of 1,600-1,800 meters,

and bought 18 hectares to begin their production plan.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Colombian coffee covers a wide range, and two FrontStreet lots show how far it can stretch. FrontStreet Colombia Huila comes from the country's most famous specialty region, planted above 1,500 meters, and is roasted medium-dark to emphasize dark chocolate and nutty sweetness with moderate body - good as pour-over or French press, and equally happy in a moka pot or espresso machine. If you'd rather chase the modern, fruit-forward side, FrontStreet La Divisa Sidra is anaerobically sun-dried and medium-light roasted, delivering passion fruit, grape, apricot and preserved-fruit notes. Want it in a milk drink? FrontStreet Signature Blend brings Brazil's creamy nuttiness together with Colombia's dark chocolate for a fine, golden-brown crema.
