Washed Process

We are excited to welcome back Jose Ever Muñoz to the Reserve Lot menu with yet another Copa de Oro winning entry. Following last year's competition success, we were thrilled to see Jose among the top producers in the most recent competition, where he secured first place in the central region and fourth place overall. A more fruit-forward cup than we’ve tasted from Jose’s pink bourbon in years past, we find layers of red grape and blackberry flavors in the cup as well as a pineapple-like sweetness and a creamy chocolate finish.

Jose Ever Muñoz

Jose has been producing coffee at his farm, La Esperanza, in the Bajo Horizonte region of Suaza for over 25 years. In addition to his competition-winning pink bourbon variety, Jose also produces catuai and colombia varieties on his farm and uses a fermentation method that is somewhat ubiquitous to this region: a primary fermentation in whole cherry is followed by a secondary dry fermentation before washing and drying on raised beds. Despite a slightly lower elevation of around 1600 masl at La Esperanza compared to many of the other competition winners, it is a testament to Jose’s deliberate focus on quality that he was awarded first place in the Central region, and fourth place in the competition overall.
