COLOMBIA SAN ANTONIO ~ FINCA SAN ANTONIO

Colombia as origin

Globally, Colombia is the third-largest coffee-producing country, with over 500,000 smallholder families growing coffee in its mountainous landscape. The biggest advantage of this origin is its location: with the equator crossing the country and unique tropical microclimates, Colombia benefits from being able to produce coffee throughout the year thanks to two different harvests.

These different harvests can be found in regions such as 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐀𝐱𝐢𝐬 (Encompasses Caldas, Risaralda and Quindío), 𝐇𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐚, 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐚 and 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧̃𝐨 & 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐚 with these most common Arabica varieties: 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛, 𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑎, 𝑡𝑦𝑝𝑖𝑐𝑎, 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑜, 𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛 and 𝑔𝑒𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑎.

Our coffee is a honey 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐚 sourced via Cuprima. This natural mutation of the 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛 plant consistently yields a high harvest, and its flavour profile is mainly known for its bright acidity, full sweetness, and fruity notes.

Finca San Antonio

Nilson and Lida Cielo López are a married couple who cultivate coffee as equal partners. Their finca, San Antonio, is located in the village of Medina Espejo and has been in the family since 2003, when Nilson inherited the farm from his father. At that time, many doubted whether coffee could thrive at such a high altitude, but the couple planted the Caturra and Colombia varieties and proved them wrong. The land yielded excellent harvests and coffee with remarkable character.

Over the years, Nilson and Lida continued to refine their work, introducing the Castillo variety due to its resistance to fungus and consistent productivity.

With each harvest, they made practical improvements to the farm. They built a small processing plant, installed parabolic dryers and tanks, developed a water purification system, and constructed a road and a house on the property. These additions helped them to process the coffee better and maintain quality at every stage.

Release

Our very first single origin filter release was cupped at Efico's HQ and immediately captivated us. Expect a smooth and sweet coffee with flavour notes of yellow plum, honey, and blossom.
