Pacamara Experimental Washed comes from Zarza Coffee in Bruselas, Huila, Colombia, where producer Jhonatan Gasca grows the Pacamara variety. Differente Coffee, the Colombian roastery founded by Carlos Escobar, selected and roasted this lot as part of its program of origin-focused Colombian coffees.
Lot details
Variety. Pacamara is a cross between Pacas and Maragogipe, first developed in El Salvador. It is known for its unusually large beans and distinctive sensory potential, which makes it a favorite among producers who want to push the boundaries of what a single variety can express.
Process. The washed process removes the skin and fruit from the seed and breaks down the remaining sticky layer, called mucilage, through fermentation. The coffee is then rinsed and dried in its parchment. Differente labels this lot “Experimental Washed,” which means the fermentation stage departs from a standard washed protocol. Jhonatan’s experimental washed approach explores how controlled fermentation can influence the expression of Pacamara.
In the cup. Differente deliberately don’t provide specific tasting notes for our coffees.
Carlos strongly believes coffee is a subjective experience. Everyone perceives flavors differently depending on their memories, culture, experiences, and personal preferences.
Differente doesn’t want to tell people what they should taste before taking their first sip. Instead, Carlos want them to explore and discover their own interpretation of each coffee.
That’s why Differente focus on describing the experience, intensity, character, and feeling behind each coffee rather than providing a list of flavors.
Their selection focuses on coffees that are far from ordinary. Carlos works with some of Colombia’s most innovative producers to showcase expressions of Colombian coffee that go well beyond what people traditionally expect.
Carlos Escobar is the son of a Colombian coffee farmer. He returned to coffee after 12 years in Australia, where he won the 2020 Australian Brewers Cup. He placed third at the 2025 World Brewers Cup in Jakarta, representing Colombia with Differente Coffee. On October 18, 2026, he won the Colombian Brewers Cup (Campeonato Colombiano de Cafés Filtrados) in Bogotá. This is his second Colombian national title, and it qualifies him to represent Colombia at the World Brewers Cup again. He founded Differente in Colombia to roast the country’s top lots where they are grown, instead of exporting them as green coffee.
Each coffee Carlos selects is roasted in Colombia, close to the farm that produced it.

Pink Bourbon Honey comes from Finca El Ocaso in Salento, Quindío, Colombia, where producer Santiago Patiño grows the Pink Bourbon variety. Differente Coffee, the Colombian roastery founded by Carlos Escobar, selected and roasted this lot as part of its program of origin-focused Colombian coffees.
Lot details
Process. In honey processing, the skin and fruit are removed from the seed, but some of the sticky layer underneath, called mucilage, is left on the parchment while the coffee dries. That remaining fruit can shape the coffee’s sweetness, texture, and overall sensory expression.
One variety, two interpretations. This lot gives customers the chance to experience Pink Bourbon in a very different way. Because these coffees come from different farms, producers, and regions, the differences between them aren’t only down to processing, and that’s part of what makes the comparison so interesting.

Pink Bourbon Washed comes from Zarza Coffee in Bruselas, Huila, Colombia, where producer Jhonatan Gasca grows the Pink Bourbon variety. Differente Coffee, the Colombian roastery founded by Carlos Escobar, selected and roasted this lot as part of its program of standout Colombian coffees. Where many of Differente’s lots push the limits of fermentation, this one takes a more traditional path, letting the variety and the land it grows on speak for themselves.
Lot details
Process. The washed process removes the skin and fruit from the seed and breaks down the remaining sticky layer, called mucilage, through fermentation. The coffee is then rinsed and dried in its parchment. For this lot, Jhonatan follows a classic washed approach without highly experimental fermentation techniques. The goal is clarity and precision: a clean, transparent cup that shows the natural character of Pink Bourbon and the terroir of Bruselas, rather than flavors shaped by the processing.

SL-28 Experimental Natural comes from Finca Quebraditas in Oporapa, Huila, Colombia, where producer Edinson Argote grows the SL-28 variety. SL-28 is historically associated with Kenya, which makes its cultivation in Colombia particularly interesting. Edinson is known for exploring innovative processing techniques, and this lot shows how fermentation can create a completely different expression of a variety. Differente Coffee, the Colombian roastery founded by Carlos Escobar, selected and roasted this lot as part of its program of origin-focused Colombian coffees.
SL28 was selected in 1935 from a single tree in a population called Tanganyika Drought Resistant, at the Scott Agricultural Laboratories in Kenya.
A drought tolerant coffee and very good cup quality.
Lot details
Process. In a traditional natural process, the cherries are dried whole after harvesting, with the fruit left intact around the seed. Experimental naturals add controlled fermentation stages to develop more complex and expressive sensory characteristics.

Bourbon Ají Experimental Washed comes from Zarza Coffee in Bruselas, Huila, Colombia, where producer Jhonatan Gasca grows the Bourbon Ají variety. Jhonatan is one of the producers Differente Coffee works with most closely. His approach pairs unusual varieties with carefully controlled fermentation, and Differente, the Colombian roastery founded by Carlos Escobar, selected and roasted this lot to show what that combination can do.

Process. The washed process removes the skin and fruit from the seed and breaks down the remaining sticky layer, called mucilage, through fermentation.

With Bourbon Ají, Jhonatan uses this process to push the variety beyond what a conventional washed coffee would show.

Sidra Natural comes from Finca La Coqueta in Filandia, Quindío, Colombia, where producer Juan Bustos grows the Sidra variety. Differente Coffee, the Colombian roastery founded by Carlos Escobar, selected and roasted this lot as part of its program of competition-focused Colombian coffees.
Sidra is a prized Arabica coffee variety whose genetics point to an Ethiopian landrace. The variety was selected in Ecuador and later spread to neighboring Colombia, where it is now grown by well-known specialty farms.
Baristas using Sidra coffees won the World Barista Championship twice: Jooyeon Jeon of South Korea in 2019 and Anthony Douglas of Australia in 2022.
Lot details
Process. In the natural process, the whole coffee cherry is dried with the skin and fruit still intact around the seed. The cherries are spread out on patios or raised beds and turned regularly as they dry, which can take several weeks. Once dry, the fruit and parchment are removed to reveal the green coffee. Because the seed stays in contact with the fruit throughout drying, naturals tend to carry more fruit-driven intensity and body than washed coffees.
