FrontStreet Coffee - Colombia Coffee Brand | Colombia · Illusion Manor · Natural Process Introduction

Coffee Story:

Southwestern Colombia's Huila region is a production area for excellent coffee. Nearly every year, the top 10 in the Colombia coffee competition come from this region. They are also primarily small coffee farmers with small yields and small cultivation areas. Huila Province is located in western Colombia, where the Andes Mountains form a long, narrow canyon. Coffee grows on the slopes here, making it a renowned coffee-producing region in Colombia.

Coffee from the Huila region has very balanced and mellow flavors due to fertile volcanic soil, moderate rainfall, and high-altitude microclimates. Most production here is by small farmers, with approximately 80% of producers in the region growing coffee on less than 3 hectares of land. Because most are cared for by small farming families themselves, labor is rarely outsourced, allowing for more thorough and intensive farm management and coffee bean processing.

Following last year's launch of natural process Colombia, FrontStreet Coffee discovered the even more excellent natural process coffee from Illusion Manor this year. The estate owner, Roswell Ortiz Escapeta, has over 20 years of coffee processing experience. With rich experience and courageous innovation, Illusion Manor has become a multiple Cup of Excellence award-winning estate in Colombia. Hand-picked red cherries undergo floating processing to remove insufficient density and poorly ripened coffee. Then, through careful manual control of sunlight exposure and turning on raised beds, they undergo a 25-day natural process drying. During the natural drying process, the coffee beans fully absorb the sugars from the coffee cherries, developing aromas of raspberry, cherry, and white wine.
