La Granja
Finca La Granja is located in Vereda San José, Santa María, Huila, Colombia, and is managed by Guiliar Pérez Cuéllar. The farm spans 3 hectares at 1,850 m.a.s.l., where Guiliar cultivates over 3,000 pink bourbon trees alongside traditional varieties. Guiliar was born and raised in Santa María, where coffee has always been part of his life. He started managing his father-in-law’s coffee farm, but he saved up over the years in order to buy one of his own. Finally in 2016, he bought a piece of his father-in-law’s farm, as well as a neighbouring lot, and Finca La Granja was born. He began with planting only 1,000 Pink Bourbon trees, and has expanded his own specialty production ever since.
Guiliar’s process begins with hand-picked ripe cherries, which are then floated, and left to ferment in cherry in open tanks for 24 hours. The cherries are then de-pulped and fermented in the same tanks for an additional 48 hours, before being washed thoroughly. The parchment is then laid to dry in marquesinas for 8 to 12 days depending on the weather. This is a stand out pink bourbon, with bright and juicy pomegranate acidity balanced out by smooth and sweet raspberry black tea notes.

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.
