Robinson Rivera - Honey

High in the mountains of Huila, Colombia, farmer Robinson Rivera refines the art of balance. His honey process—partially removing the mucilage yet preserving the natural sugars—creates a vivid interplay between sweetness and structure.

In the cup, El Silencio Honey radiates with blackberry juiciness, tropical fruit brightness, and a subtle hint of rum warmth, layered over the delicate sweetness of red apple, orange zest, and panela. The texture is round and silky, with a lingering honeyed finish that captures both depth and clarity.

This lot represents Rivera’s mastery at Finca El Silencio: a careful choreography of fermentation, airflow, and drying that transforms fruit into liquid elegance. It is Colombia’s spirit—vibrant, rhythmic, and soulful—expressed through coffee.
