Christmas Coffee from Colombia




Christmas Coffee from Colombia
Our high-end Christmas Coffee this year is this beautiful natural lot from the La Isleta farm in Colombia.
It comes from a dynamic duo of coffee producers, Juan Carlos Velez who owns and runs the La Isleta farm, and Juan Saldarriaga, a famous coffee profile in Colombia, who runs a mechanical drying facility in the town of Cuidad Bolivar near the farm.
Juan Velez is dedicated to conservation of both water and trees on the mountain of Farallones where his farm is located, and makes sure his coffees have excellent growing conditions. The cherries are delivered by mule to the nearby drying facility where they are processed as naturals using a combination of mechanical drying and raised beds.
The result is a vibrant and fruity coffee that is an absolute treat this holiday! This coffee was also used by Norwegian Barista Champion, Alexander Monsen, in his presentation at the World Barista Championship in Athens this year.
