El Faro Coffee Hub is based in Colombia's Huila region and was founded by Andres Rodriguez. The operation spans three generations and handles the full chain from production through processing to export, which lets them maintain quality control end to end.
El Faro is built around community. They support the farmers in their network through training, renewable energy projects, and a program called Empowered Women that focuses on female growers. Their signature is Pink Bourbon, cultivated at high altitudes by farmers with generations of expertise on these hillsides.
Pink Bourbon was originally thought to be a hybrid of red and yellow bourbon. More recent research suggests it may be a landrace varietal from Ethiopia related to Geisha, which helps explain its cup profile. It's also disease-resistant, which matters for small farms.
Washed Process: In a washed process, the coffee cherry is depulped and the beans are fermented in tanks to remove the sticky mucilage before being rinsed clean and dried. The result is a cup that shows the bean's inherent character with clarity, letting the variety, terroir, and altitude come through without interference from fruit sugars.
Cupping notes: Nectarine, pear, and melon in the up front aroma. A light, tea-like mouthfeel. Bright acidity, light body, and a long citrus-forward aftertaste with lemon and lime pulling through the cup.
Resting: Best 45+ days after roast.
