Yobani Ramos, Pink Bourbon - Colombia, Tarqui

If you follow a long and winding gravel road up along one of the mountains and all the way to the top, you’ll find Finca La Fuente. At 1900 meters, Yobani Ramos’ farm is one of the most beautiful places you can imagine and the tropical climate of the Tarqui area is perfect for growing coffee. With a stunning view that goes on or miles and miles over neighbouring peaks and valleys, this is where Yobani grows her Pink Bourbon coffee. The farming is done according to biodynamic principles, which means she strives to create as healthy soil as possible. This is achieved by composting, integrating animals, shade crops and crop rotation at the farm. By viewing the farm as a closed but diverse ecosystem and treating the compost to encourage microbial life Yobani creates a rich and fertile soil. Nature, consistency and quality are the keys to Yobani’s success and this delicious cup of coffee.
