Buena Vista "Panela Bacana"
Funky stone fruit, a velvet-like mouthfeel, and warm spice envelope this really magical cup. An easy going crowd pleaser.
The owners of Finca Buena Vista: Edgar Motta and Susan Mences and are a married couple, working partners, and outstanding, innovative coffee growers known in San Agustin.
Their dedication and passion for coffee are visible in their high-quality coffee. The harvesting of the fruit in this lot was a highly selective process, with only ripe coffee cherries being picked. This was followed by "balseo", a method of fruit selection based on density, where the cherries that float are discarded. The coffee was then carefully spread across drying beds, ensuring no bean was left on top of another. These beds are well ventilated and measures are taken to prevent insect infestation. The coffee is turned six to seven times a day, with a drying time of 18 to 25 days.

Sorting Level
4-5%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
Variety / Cultivar
Pink Bourbon
Despite it's name, Pink Bourbon is closer to Ethiopian Landrace variety than it is to Red or Yellow Bourbon. A constant favorite on the cupping table at Regalia HQ: we get the greatest range of florality and sweetness in the best of Pink Bourbons.
