LAS PERLITAS FRUITY

Carefully selected coffee blend from Huila, Colombia, produced by a network of smallholder farmers and sourced by The Coffee Quest. The name “Las Perlitas,” meaning “little pearls,” refers to the small, high-quality lots contributed by individual producers, which are combined to create a consistent and expressive profile. Grown at elevations ranging from approximately 1,600 to 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee benefits from ideal high-altitude conditions that support slow cherry maturation and enhanced flavor development.

The first time a lot is cupped is when the producer brings a sample to our buying station. Once approved, the producer will then bring the lot down to the warehouse where it will be cupped again, taking a sample from each sack to ensure consistency. After final approval, the parchment coffee is packed in Grainpro bags and remains untouched until the entire lot is milled in Medellín.

You might already know that Colombia has a tropical climate with high humidity which makes it extremely difficult to produce Naturals. The only way to get the same fruity flavours that resemble those of Naturals is to play with extended or other creative fermentations before washing. 

The variations of fruity flavours of our specialty lots are created by manipulating different variables before, during and after the fermentation process, such as cleanliness, temperature, batch size, fermentation time and choices between dry or wet fermentations and more and more the addition of microorganisms. The time our coffee spends in the tanks and on the drying tables is usually much longer than for commercial coffee, but differs per farmer as climatic influences and logistical issues play a role. On average, Las Perlitas coffees ferment from 24 to 48h and sometimes up to 72! Drying time is around 7-14 days.
