Colombia La Primavera

An excerpt from the importer, Yellow Rooster:

"In the wake of the COVID pandemic, coffee people of all stripes were looking to come out of the isolation to reignite, reinvigorate and reconnect. At the 2022 SCA Expo in Boston, some of us on the Yellow Rooster team were invited to the IWCA Colombia chapter cupping, where we tasted some truly exceptional and differentiated coffees, many of which were produced by Ana Maria Donneys. There was an immediate connection! We exchanged contact information, and returned to our respective homes with hope for the future.

It was then in September of 2023 that we traveled to Medellín, Colombia for the Producer Roaster Forum (PRF). Ana approached our booth at the convention with a big smile that said “Remember me??” We immediately reconnected, and Ana laid it out straight: “Guys, I’ve been trying to do this on my own, but I need a partner. I want to take my coffee to the USA, and I want to do it with you.” Humbled and honored, we began to devise a plan.

About a month later, we were again in Colombia. We headed to Armenia, Quindío with the plan to dedicate our time to visit Ana’s project, which she calls “Primitivo Coffee” in honor of her grandfather Primitivo Correal Barrios. Primitivo’s operation is comprised of five separate farms just beyond the town of Circasia."

"This Caturra coffee is processed using theTropical Ranger method, developed by the Primitivo team. The cherries first ferment for 60 hours in sealed tanks under anaerobic conditions that enhance fruit-forward yeast activity. Then, coffee cherry must from a previous fermentation acts as a starter culture for a second 24-hour fermentation, producing a complex, clean cup with vibrant fruity notes." - Yellow Rooster
