Now Roasting: Colombia – Nuevo Horizonte
This selection of pink bourbon comes from Elmer Sarmiento of Santa María, Huila, where his farm, Nuevo Horizonte, sits at 2,000 meters of elevation. Elmer is one of roughly 200 producers in the community who sell coffee to Cuatro Vientos, our sourcing partners in the region. Though Santa María often flies under the radar, we consistently taste coffees here that rival the best lots from more widely known districts.
We began working with Cuatro Vientos about five years ago while searching for dependable volume coffees for Brooklyn and Flatiron, and year after year the quality from Santa María has stood out. This season, we set out to highlight a single producer who represents that excellence, and Elmer’s coffee was the standout on our recent visit to Huila. The farm’s name, Nuevo Horizonte, reflects the opportunities it creates for Elmer’s family, even as coffee must travel across the valley by cable cart from the steep slopes where it is grown.
Processed on the farm using a traditional washed method and dried in solar dryers, this pink bourbon is bright and sweet with high clarity. We’re tasting raspberry, cherry, pink lady apple, lemonade, brown sugar, and caramel. It has quickly become a favorite as a filter coffee.
