Info.

Horizons.

The Lopez family's Lacia farms, situated in Quindio, boast a rich coffee legacy spanning generations. Nestled within a picturesque valley with varying microclimates, Lacia produces diverse coffee profiles. Manuel Lopez, owner Jairo's nephew, leads the unique fermentation program. They pick ripe, overripe, and underripe cherries, believing that, with proper processing, each contributes unique flavours to the final cup. Cherries are categorized to determine oxidation and fermentation durations. This Castillo lot, picked at perfect ripeness, undergoes 24-hour oxidation in plastic bags before slow drying in shaded rooms, allowing aromatic exchange with other varieties. Manuel likens drying coffee to a sponge meaning it absorbs the unique aromatics from adjacent Java & Gesha varieties strategically placed in the shaded rooms, enhancing flavour complexity.

Origins.
Colombia.

Colombia’s diverse terroir encompasses several coffee producing regions, each with its distinct microclimate and soil composition. Notable coffee regions include Huila, Nariño, Antioquia, and Cauca. These regions contribute to the wide range of flavors found in Colombian coffees.

Colombia cultivates different coffee varietals, such as Caturra, Castillo, Pink Bourbon, Typica, and Gesha to name a few. Coffee farms are often situated in the ideal altitude range of 1,200 to 1,800 MaSL, which provides coffee cherries with ample time to ripen, leading to well-balanced acidity and notable sweetness in the beans.
