Watermelon, Milk Chocolate & Green Tea. A creamy, sweet coffee with a medium-plus body and strikingly clear, intense aromas.
This coffee stirs memories. Of bubble gum, of the first warm sunny days of the year — a glass of cold brew in hand. The Finca Sinaloa is just as playful as those moments: clear, expressive, with an intensity you wouldn't quite expect. Whether as filter, espresso, or with milk: this coffee is a true sensory experience.

Finca Sinaloa is located in Huila, Colombia's most significant coffee-growing region in the south-west of the country. Volcanic soils and the varying altitudes of the Andean cordillera create ideal conditions for speciality coffee — with vibrant acidity, delicate sweetness, and fruity, caramel-like aromas.
Ana María Trujillo Rojas is a fourth-generation coffee producer and certified Q Grader from Colombia. For over a decade, she has combined traditional craft with technical precision — establishing herself in the world of speciality coffee as a specialist in controlled fermentation processes and the development of distinctive sensory profiles.
In 2025, Ana María presents an exceptional coffee: Pink Bourbon, co-fermented with fresh watermelon. The coffee cherries are harvested at optimal ripeness and sorted by density. This is followed by an initial anaerobic fermentation using carbonic maceration over 96 hours. After pulping, a second fermentation phase of 72 hours begins — enriched with the fermentation liquid from the first stage, fresh watermelon, glucose, and wine yeast. The coffee is then dried gently in the sun.
