Las Perlitas
Las Perlitas translates to “Little Pearls,” an ode to the small, high-quality lots produced by individual smallholders across Huila, Colombia that are often too limited in volume to be exported on their own. While these microlots are frequently excluded for logistical reasons, their cup quality regularly rivals — and sometimes exceeds — that of much larger single-producer offerings. Las Perlitas is composed primarily of Pink Bourbon, with smaller contributions from Caturra and occasional Geisha.
We’re excited to carry Las Perlitas again this season, a coffee we’ve come to rely on for both quality and consistency year over year. In the cup, it’s crisp and juicy, with lifted notes of honeysuckle, green apple, and herbal lemongrass.

Sorting Level
6-8%
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.
