Andres Cardona’s Semi-Washed brilliance, lovingly called Red Sunset, is a result of his curiosity and desire to learn. This Castillo and Colombia varieties lot, grown at 1600 masl. Its sweet flavor notes come from an extended fermentation in coffee cherry juice inside sealed tanks. This submerged anaerobic fermentation makes a balanced and homogeneous cup with an outstanding aftertaste.
La Ilusión is Andrés’s family farm, a cherished inheritance passed down through generations. Today, his parents call it home, it has been both their paradise and their livelihood. Nestled in Santa Bárbara, a small town just an hour and a half from Medellín, the farm thrives with coffee plants, chickens, and various birds. Andrés dreams of transforming La Ilusión into a coffee processing facility, providing local farmers with a space to process high-quality, differentiated coffee.
