José Elcias Martinez

José Elcias Martinez produces coffee in the Huila region of Colombia, operating at high altitudes ranging from 1700 to 2100 meters. This geographic context places the farm within one of the country's prominent coffee-producing departments known for steep mountain topography and diverse microclimates. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog includes Pink Bourbon and Tabi cultivars. Pink Bourbon is the more frequently recorded variety across the producer's lots, accompanied by Tabi, a hybrid variety developed in Colombia known for rust resistance and cup quality. Processing methods for the lots recorded in the catalog are exclusively washed. This traditional preparation method involves depulping, fermentation, and washing stages before drying, focusing on clarity of cup profile. The catalog footprint for José Elcias Martinez includes three coffees featured by three different roasters, specifically Plowshares Coffee Roasters, Rumble Coffee Roasters, and Flower Child Coffee. The average Cherrybook Index across these lots is 52.5, and all recorded coffees are currently out of stock. Recent catalog entries illustrate the range of offerings from this producer. Examples include a washed Tabi roasted by Plowshares Coffee Roasters, a Pink Bourbon offering prepared for filter brewing by Rumble Coffee Roasters, and a washed Pink Bourbon from Flower Child Coffee. The work of José Elcias Martinez in the catalog is characterized by a focus on washed preparations of Pink Bourbon and Tabi varieties grown at elevated altitudes in Huila.
