About:
Grupo Asociativo El Bombo Pitalito Inza, Asobombo for short, was founded by Luis Alfredo Diaz to increase market access and attain fair, sustainable prices for their coffee. Together, members take the high-quality Red Bourbon variety and produce a stunning fully washed lot. They selectively handpick ripe, red cherry. Then they pulp cherry on small hand crank pulpers and ferment it in tanks for 12 to 36 hours. Following fermentation, parchment is washed in clean water and laid out to dry. They rake parchment frequently to ensure even drying. Today, over 80 members are Organic certified and sell their coffees with Asobombo to garner higher prices for their hard work.
