María Deya Camacho, Pink Bourbon Honey, Condor Huila Graduation Auction First Place Winner- Colombia

María Deya Camacho's Pink Bourbon from Finca El Divino Niño in Acevedo, Huila, sits at 1,400 masl and represents her commitment to quality—she placed second in Colombia's Cup of Excellence in 2011. The meticulous honey process begins with a 48-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation in sealed bags, followed by careful depulping that retains partial mucilage, another 48-hour sealed fermentation, a light rinse, and 12–13 days of controlled drying. The result is a bright, complex cup with green apple, blood orange, and raspberry candy notes. This was the #1 ranked lot at the Condor Huila Graduation Auction, where Little Waves paid $20 per pound green directly to the producer—a direct investment in a woman-led operation pushing boundaries in Colombian specialty coffee.
