One benefit of the Copa de Oro competition is that it helps relatively unknown producers in Huila, Colombia, establish a reputation for quality among international buyers. For more established producers with a proven history of excellence, it provides an opportunity to demonstrate why they remain among the best in the business. Wilson Alba Córdoba falls into the latter category: a highly regarded third‑generation producer with nearly 20 years of experience producing some of the finest coffees in Palestina, Huila. This washed pink bourbon separation from his 2025 harvest placed second in the southern regional category of the Copa de Oro last fall. Exhibiting stunning complexity and clarity of flavor, we taste heady bergamot florals and fresh raspberry jam, as well as canned peach, browning sugars, and lime zest in the finish.
