Juan Carlos Artunduaga cultivates Pink Bourbon on his farm, Finca La Granada at 1,700 meters above sea level. The high altitude creates an ideal microclimate of warm, sunny days and cool nights for sweet, dense cherries. Juan pulped ripe, red cherries and fermented them for 80 hours. This fermentation is longer than most fully washed lots in Colombia and helps bring out the sweet, fruity flavours. Following fermentation, Juan Carlos washes parchment in clean water and lays it to dry on raised beds, raking drying parchment frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 15 days for parchment to dry.
