We met Luis Marcelino, the founder of Aroma Nativo, in January 2024. When we had the opportunity for the first time to taste his coffees in his laboratory in Bogotá. The first thing we noticed was the organoleptic quality of the samples. We are therefore very proud to be the first to bring Aroma Nativo coffees to Italy!
In 2022, Luis launched “The Veci Project” (veci = diminutive for neighbour in Spanish), a collaborative production with coffee farmers who have good agricultural practices but lack coffee processing infrastructure. Aroma Nativo contributes with the creation of fermentation protocols and processing facilities located in Pitalito, Huila.
For this exceptional lot, the ripest Pink Bourbon drupes were selected. They underwent a meticulous fermentation process in a controlled anaerobic environment, followed by pulping. To enhance the flavor, the beans in mucilage were then fermented in barrels with native bacteria and strains of special yeast, ensuring a distinctive and rich profile.
13 days raised beds sun dryer, followed by an essential 3 month stabilization phase in a meticulously controlled temperature environment, ensuring optimal conditions for preserving quality and enhancing durability.
Luis Marcelino processed 269 Kg of this Micro Lot.
