Colombia Imbachi AA

From the historic coffee lands of San Agustín, Huila, comes this exceptional AA grade coffee from Yon Edizon Munoz Imbachi, carrying forward the legendary Imbachi family tradition that has captivated the specialty coffee world for over two decades.

The Imbachi name resonates throughout Colombia’s coffee landscape, built on the foundation laid by patriarch Carlos Imbachi—a former treasure hunter who traded searching for pre-Columbian artifacts for cultivating award-winning coffees. Carlos’s coffees won the SCAA’s Coffee of the Year award in both 2009 and 2010, scoring over 90 points and even surpassing Panama’s famed Esmeralda Gesha. His success established the family as what many consider the godfathers of specialty coffee in San Agustín.

Yon Edizon carries this legacy at Finca El Borugo, where he cultivates a thoughtful blend of Caturra, Bourbon, and Gesha varieties across two hectares at 1,663 meters above sea level. This multi-variety approach creates the complexity that earns the AA grading—each variety contributing its distinct characteristics to create a harmonious cup with vibrant hibiscus florals, crisp Pink Lady apple sweetness, and the unique complexity of tamarind candy. The medium, round body provides structure while tart, balanced acidity keeps each sip lively and engaging.

The washed processing method allows the terroir of San Agustín to shine through clearly, expressing the unique microclimate where the Magdalena River begins its journey through Colombia. Here, in the shadows of ancient civilizations, the Imbachi family continues writing their own history—one exceptional coffee harvest at a time.

At Frothy Monkey, we’ve been proud partners with the Imbachi family since 2018, featuring their award-winning coffees year after year, including Carlos’s remarkable yellow bourbon and Diego’s exceptional Gesha as part of our Roaster Series. This AA grade coffee represents the next chapter in our ongoing relationship with a family whose commitment to quality matches our own.

Whether you’re drawn to the floral brightness, intrigued by the tamarind complexity, or simply ready to experience what made the Imbachi name legendary, this coffee invites you into a tradition where every cup carries the weight of history and the promise of discovery.
