Bolney & Adele Reinoso Pacamara - Colombia

From the farm of Don Bolney and Doña Adèle in Pitalito, Huila, this distinctive Pacamara offers a remarkable expression of the variety. Aromatic and complex, it brings together notes of thyme and fragrant herbs with layers of floral and fruity character. A lively acidity gives the cup structure, while meticulous processing allows its unusual profile to shine with exceptional clarity.

Bolney and Adèle’s journey into specialty coffee began after they left their home in Tolima in 2011, seeking greater security for their family. They exchanged their 13-hectare farm for a smaller property in Pitalito, southern Huila, where they began again.

Their new farm was initially planted entirely with Caturra, but a severe outbreak of coffee leaf rust in 2015 devastated the crop. After selling part of the property, they made the bold decision to focus the remaining three hectares on a carefully selected range of specialty varieties: Gesha, Pink Bourbon and Pacamara.

Rather than pursuing volume, their approach centres on quality, varietal expression and rigorous processing. Each cultivar offers a distinct profile, shaped by the farm’s conditions and the couple’s hands-on experience.

Careful processing is central to the character of this coffee. A meticulous, controlled drying approach preserves the quality of the parchment and allows the Pacamara’s complex aromatics to develop with clarity and definition.

Expect intriguing herbal notes, joined by a brighter foundation of fruit and florals, with acidity bringing greater balance and structure. An adventurous, memorable cup for anyone curious about the extraordinary.
