Carolina Ramirez is a star member of Unbleded Young Producer Program. She is a lawyer, an endurance runner, and an incredible specialty coffee farmer. She is truly an inspiring woman who embodies the excitement we feel when we see young people working in coffee farms. After studying law in Medellin, she decided to return to Andes to live with her parents on their farm when the pandemic hit. She fell in love with the world of specialty coffee and its production chain. Nowadays, she collaborates with her mother to design all of her coffees, and they are both in charge of the selection and processing.
According to Carolina, the word that best describes this coffee is “Serendipity”. This was her first experimental process, and it resulted in one of the best coffees she has ever made. She takes pride in it for that reason. The coffee is harvested when it is ripe, hand-selected, and left in an open steel tank for 140 hours while filtering and pouring the coffee juice over the cherries twice a day, every day. It is then depulped and left to sun dry in open patios for three weeks. This effort pays off with its subtle notes of red fruits, pineapple, and cocoa, combined with a very juicy body. This makes it a coffee you wouldn’t want to miss.
