Las Piñas (meaning ‘the pineapples’ in Spanish) is a five-hectare farm located outside the small city of Ibagué, an area known for its high elevations and sweet, refined coffees. Producer Reinaldo Parra has planted the farm with Caturra variety coffee, which yields well at the property’s elevation of 1900 metres.
Reinaldo is a generous and influential coffee producer; many of his neighbours look to him for agricultural tips and guidance. His own farm is comprised of two steep slopes, with his house and his small mill and drying beds situated between them.
At harvest time, Reinaldo and his family do most of the coffee-picking themselves. They then hand-pulp the coffee and place it inside a fermentation tank. Like many producers in the area, Reinaldo uses an extended fermentation technique, adding extra beans over a 2–3 day period. This contributes a vibrant, winey acidity to the coffee’s cup profile, as well as a delicious honey sweetness.
