José Martinez

Jose Martinez produces coffee in the departments of Cauca and Huila in Colombia, operating within an altitude band of 1750 to 1800 meters. These regions provide the high elevation conditions typical of specialty coffee production in the country. The varietal portfolio is led by Pink Bourbon, which accounts for the majority of the recorded lots. Other cultivated varieties include Caturra, general heirloom cultivars, and Geisha. Processing methods across the catalog are focused on the washed process, representing all recorded lots for this producer. This points to a consistent preparation style centered on traditional wet-mill processing rather than experimental or extended fermentations. The catalog footprint includes 19 total coffees, all of which are currently out of stock. Five different roasters have carried these lots, with an average Cherrybook Index across the offerings of 57.7. Recent lot examples feature offerings from September Coffee Company, including washed preparations of Caturra, heirloom cultivars, and Pink Bourbon across various roast profiles. Overall, the work of Jose Martinez in the catalog is characterized by a strong emphasis on washed Pink Bourbon and Caturra sourced from Cauca and Huila.
