In Spanish, Las Perlitas means “Little Pearls” and throughout the harvest, it’s quite common that small-holders in Colombia produce lots that aren’t large enough to be exported on their own. However, the quality is often just as good (or better) than samples received from larger lots. As such, coffee quest buy all coffees, regardless of size and create a larger, export-size lot based on cup score and profile.

In the cup we get a bright and fruity profile with a big aroma of fruit salad. It has a nice citric acidity that reminds us of blood orange and limeade, with a great sweetness that reminds us of berries and melon.
