High up above Cañón de las Hermosas in Tolima lies a farm so remote that electricity and running water are difficult to come by. It is on this high-altitude farm that we have discovered a lot that produces a Tipica coffee which has the same distinctive red fruit tartness we have come to know as Red Barrel. With deeply acidic notes of cranberry, pomegranate, blackberry and a distinct lemongrass note, our Red Barrel has become a favorite pour-over and one of our most sought after single-estates.
