Merci's a young farmer, cupping lab manager, and all-around badass based in the Colosay area of Northern Peru, and is exactly the type of producer we’re excited to partner with: experimental, young, and passionate about coffee, with a bright future ahead of her.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe first met Merci on our trip to Peru in August of 2021, when we took a day trip up to Origin Coffee Lab’s purchase station in Colosay. Origin is the main exporter we work with in Peru, and a recipient of the Specialty Coffee Association's annual sustainability award.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt that point Merci was running Origin's acopio in Colosay -  a small cupping lab, purchase station, and warehouse catering to farmers in the area. Merci continues to run the Colosay acopio and work with her parents, Felix and Violeta, on their farm, Finca La Pomarrosa. But in the the years since, Merci's taken on more and more responsibility with Origin, too, working as an agronomic and processing advisor for other farmers in the network, and recently becoming the official head of the La Higuera group. We’ve also had the chance to meet Felix + Violeta, and the combo of the family working together on-farm, coupled with Merci's knowledge and drive, seem to be a magic recipe for quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinca La Pomarrosa sits at 1800 meters above sea level and higher in the village of La Higuera, and the Silva-Fernandez family has mostly a local variety called \"Colosay Bourbon.\" In reality, it's not a bourbon at all, but a disease-resistant hybrid. Regardless, the quality can be incredible, and lends the coffee in the Colosay area a unique profile. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditionally, La Pomarrosa processes Huckleberry's coffee using a variation on the washed process that they and Origin Coffee Lab call \"fruta madura.\" It's a washed coffee, but with a prolonged in-cherry fermentation before depulping, followed by a prolonged under-water fermentation after depulping and before washing. All those factors, plus some careful roasting here in Denver, help create a cup we love, with big fruit, syrupy body, and big sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’re tasting raspberry, peach, and plum, balanced with notes of caramel and pastry. With both body and fruit, La Pomarrosa is pure, chuggable deliciousness!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-14efb128-7fff-88af-9e72-839ebe7d297b\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*** For roasting schedule, shipping, receiving \u0026amp; additional information, please visit out \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/huckleberryroasters.com\/pages\/faq\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/a\u003e .
