COLOMBIA - El Porvenir / Wush Wush/ Washed / filter

EL PORVENIR

Originally from Ethiopia, Wush Wush is one of the rarest and most prized varieties in the world of specialty coffee, celebrated for its floral complexity, subtle sweetness, and silky texture. In the high-altitude mountains of Cauca, Colombia, this variety thrives in volcanic soils and cool Andean breezes, allowing for a unique and refined expression.

This lot is washed processed, meaning the fruit’s pulp is carefully removed after harvest, followed by controlled fermentation in tanks and a gentle washing to eliminate residual mucilage before drying. This method enhances the coffee’s clean cup structure and aromatic clarity, allowing the variety’s intrinsic elegance to shine.

This washed Wush Wush from Cauca is not only a refined expression of a rare variety, but also the result of meticulous post-harvest practices and a strong commitment to quality at origin.

"El Porvenir is a family-owned farm located in Vereda El Ramal, Corregimiento de Uribe, in the municipality of El Tambo, about two hours from the main town, at an altitude of approximately 2,150 meters above sea level, on the road to Munchique National Park (Santa Ana sector). The road to the farm is unpaved but offers stunning landscapes surrounded by native forest — visitors are advised to travel with a local guide and the proper authorization. The farm’s name, El Porvenir (“The Future”), was chosen by my father, who also passed it down to me as an inheritance. It carries a beautiful story: years ago, this land was used for illicit crops, but we decided to transform it into a place of renewal through coffee. Once you arrive, you truly never want to leave. We strive to follow the best agricultural practices — using manual tools like brush cutters and minimizing herbicide use — to preserve soil fertility and the natural balance of our environment."
