Colombia Villa Teresa Gesha

Lavendar, Bergamot, Longan Tea

 

Villa Teresa, in the Huila region of Colombia, is managed by Martha Rodriguez Ospina, the eldest member of the Rodriguez Ospina family. Representing the third generation of coffee growers, Martha upholds her family’s legacy with dedication and innovative practices. Recognising the constraints of their modest farm size, Martha initially transitioned from traditional varieties to high-value Geisha to increase profitability. This strategic shift laid the foundation for her to master her processing methods and introduce bespoke protocols, which enhance the complexity and depth of her coffees.

Colombia Finca Las Flores (Sidra Anaerobic Natural)
Mango, Ripe Pineapple, Moscato   Finca Las Flores is one in a group of five farms that have banded together for the greater success of each producing family. This tight-knit collective in the Pitalito area collaborates closely in everything from agronomy and processing innovations, through to marketing networks and community get-togethers. Las Flores began with 2 hectares mixing Caturra and Colombia variety coffee trees (some 18,000 in total planted) when Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure arrived, moving the family from Cundinamarca to Acevedo in 1990. As their three boys grew up, they became instrumental in the Las Flores production. Eldest Carlos with youngest Diego runs most logistics for the farm on the ground. Whilst middle son, Johan, has brought his experience from working with other celebrated producers to direct processing decisions at Las Flores and having an extraordinary impact on the qualities being achieved. Since 2006, the family have gradually built on their traditional beginnings with the introduction of alternative varieties for the region, such as Chiroso, Java, Pacamara, Pink Bourbon and Tabi. Currently, Las Flores spans over 14 hectares with 90,000 trees, whilst always retaining a dedicated natural reserve to protect its biodiversity. Sidra (also known as Sydra or Bourbon Sidra) is a hybrid varietal, made of Red Bourbon and Typica and combines characteristics of these two varieties. It has acquired the sweetness and the body of Red Bourbon and the bright taste and acidity of Typica.     Area: Bruselas, Pitalito Process: Anaerobic Natural Variety: Sidra Altitude: 1750 meters

Colombia Los Nogales
Colombia Los Nogales
Peach Yoghurt, Cocoa, Ondeh Ondeh   Finca Los Nogales is a family farm, or rather a company that combines tradition with innovation. It is located in the hamlet of El Diamante, just outside the town of Bruselas in the southern part of the department of Huila. The farm was founded by members of the Hernandez family around 1940. Its tradition and focus on growing the best coffee was then developed by Mr Ricaurte Hernandéz. After his death, it was unclear for a while what would become of this farm. About six years ago, however, the farm began to prosper under the stewardship of Oscar Hernandéz, Mr Ricaurte’s son, and is now a model for farmers throughout the area. Science and passion – at Los Nogales, the focus is on innovation. The coffee world is constantly evolving and its connection with scientific knowledge is becoming more and more commonplace, or rather a necessity. Oscar therefore relies on the experience of a biochemist, an agricultural engineer, a microbiologist, as well as an experienced accountant and a very capable manager himself. The passion for what they do is not lacking in anyone, they pull together and if they have any differences of opinion, they take them as an asset.   Processing steps used:
  1. Hand picking of cherries.
  2. Oxidation – the cherries are piled into a larger mass and allowed to oxidize, the temperature in the flesh rises to 50 degrees. The oxidation time was 50 hours.
  3. Washing and removal of floaters, disinfection of washed cherries with ozone.
  4. Peeling the cherries.
  5. Squeezing the juice out of the skins and mixing this liquid with the peeled grains in fermentation plastic barrels. Addition of the required acetic bacteria.
  6. Fermentation for 144 hours.
  7. Washing and drying for 20 days.
