Christmas Punch
Wilder Lasso came to be a coffee producer not long ago since 2017 when he came to help his father at his Farm El Diviso in the mountains of San Adolfo. Because of his passion for coffee and family history in coffee producing, Wilder entered the coffee world in a unique way, he started not only with specialty coffee right away, but with his background in genetics, and also his relentless energy of learning, he began a varietal program in Tocora, which nowadays includes more than 12 different varieties, which have been carefully selected from different origins.

Variety
Pink Bourbon is a rare and coveted find. A hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon, this varietal stands out in every way—from the striking pink color of its ripe coffee cherries to the sweetly complex flavor of its beans. Even in ideal growing conditions, Pink Bourbon is challenging to cultivate.
Anaerobic fermentation
Fermentation is a chemical process whereby carbohydrates, such as sugars are broken down into alcohols or acids by microbial activities in the absence of oxygen. While fermentation is, by its nature, an anaerobic process, the term “anaerobic fermentation” refers specifically to fermentation that occurs in a custom-built, oxygen-free environment, such as a sealed container or tank.
