They began using their money to buy small plots of land that eventually became a farm of their own. After some hard years, that land had to be sold, but Norbey kept dreaming of their perfect farm, and couldn't resist buying property and trying to make it work. Eventually, they found La Esmeralda, and quickly it blossomed into one of the most beautiful and pristine farms in the area. Now, harvesting Castillo, Sidra, Pink Bourbon, and Java, Norbey is raising his children as a new generation of coffee producers that share his intense passion to care for the land and the fruit they've been given, and it truly shows in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSource: Ventola Coffee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eColombia’s well-cultivated Pink Bourbon varietals hold a special place in coffee history and remain one of our favorite choices for everyday light roast filter brews and vibrant modern espressos. We discovered Norbey’s uniquely honey-processed coffee through Ventola and were impressed by its expertly crafted fermentation, which enhances an already expressive and high-quality Pink Bourbon lot. Our goal in sourcing this coffee was to offer our customers a lively, approachable daily drinker—one that showcases dynamic acidity from fermentation without veering too far into funk.
