Colombia Flor Del Desierto Light/Medium 150g

Colombia Flor del Desierto (Natural)

Only the strongest, fittest flowers can

bloom in the desert. Our Flor del

Desierto, or flower of the desert, is

sourced through Cuatro Vientos' network

of selected farms in Acevedo, Huila.

Coffee is selectively handpicked by smallholder

producers and their families. Once picked, ripe, red

cherry is brought to a newly constructed drying

facility in Acevedo, Huila called Siete Soles Drying

Complex. At Siete Soles, cherry is floated to remove

floaters and then lightly fermented for 48 hours.

Then, cherry is laid on patios to sun dry. Cherry is

raked frequently to ensure even drying.

Cuatro Vientos is a family-owned exporter based in

Colombia. Founded in 2018 by Julian & Yonatan

Gonzalez and based in Huila, the company is

named after the Gonzalez’s first farmnwhere the

brothers spent much of their childhood. Yonatan

and Julian learned much of what they know from

their father, Armando Gonzalez who was a

“pergaminero,” someone who bought and sold

parchment coffee.
