About Bella Vista Espresso

Among producers in San Agustín, Huila, José del Mar Ordoñez is well-known for the quality of his traditional washed Pink Bourbon lots. But it was this lot of Honey-processed Pink Bourbon that caught the attention of the monKaaba group, a smallholder producer initiative that we’ve been engaged with since early 2024.

Honey processing is intensive and requires time and attention to achieve good results. For this honey lot, the coffee cherries were harvested every 3 weeks. After pulping, they are fermented in a tank for 3 days. After fermentation, the husk was removed and the coffee was dried with its pectin layer. Fermentation during drying gives coffee a very round sweetness. However, the process is difficult to control, especially at the altitude of José del Mar's finca, which is almost 2,000 meters above sea level.

Our brewing recommendation

Anabel uses the following recipe to brew with Espresso machine :

This coffee prefers a medium extraction time. Our recipe is 17g of coffee beans to 36g of espresso with an extraction time of 28 seconds.
