Net weight:  12 ounces (340 grams) / 5 lbs (2.27kg)

Info:

Ana Maria Donneys is a fifth-generation coffee producer from the powerhouse “Coffee Axis” region of central Colombia, in the department of Quindío. She came back from a budding career in Bogotá to take over the family business after her grandfather, Primitivo Correal, unexpectedly passed away.

Rebranding the family farms under the new name “Café Primitivo”, Ana took charge to bring these traditional farms into the modern age. A product of her generation, Ana knew the power of networking and social media to begin spreading the word of her family’s brand, as well as putting in the extra work at the cupping lab to develop Primitivo’s signature flavor.

Unfortunately, one of the processing and drying centers on the farm property caught fire in the middle of harvest of 2024. While no lives were lost, thousands of pounds of coffee were at risk of going to waste. Thanks to the quick action of our import partners at Yellow Rooster Coffee Imports, we were able to access a unique coffee that is a blend of two processes, both honey and natural.

Additionally, this is an anaerobically processed coffee, meaning the enclosed containers in which these coffees were fermented provided a carbon-dioxide rich environment which kept the coffee from oxidizing too quickly, creating a new depth of flavor that expresses itself as lactic-forward red fruit. Think strawberry shortcake or a dessert wine reduction drizzled on cherry ice cream.
