Ventures.

Fausto, a dedicated coffee producer, runs La Esmeralda farm. Inheriting his passion from his parents, he transformed his farm in Guamal into a coffee haven. Upheld by his wife, Yolima, he meticulously oversees every step of the coffee-making process, prioritising quality and environmental sustainability.

La Esmeralda farm sits at 1700 meters above sea level, sprawling across two hectares, boasting Pacamara production amidst native shade trees. Fausto’s commitment extends beyond mere cultivation; he champions agroecological practices, emphasizing organic inputs and composting. His meticulous process begins with hand-picking only ripe cherries, followed by an anaerobic fermentation. After pulping, beans undergo careful washing and drying for 10-20 days under constant supervision. This dedication reflects Fausto’s ethos: professionalism, love for coffee, and environmental stewardship, ensuring a delicious cup every time.

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.
