La Colombia

This farm is where the magic happens, as some of our clients attest. Nestled at elevations between 1600 and 1900 meters above sea level and encompassing over 20 hectares of natural reserve, this place is truly breathtaking. Hiking through these mountains is an awe-inspiring experience.

La Colombia, spanning 52 hectares of coffee, holds a special place in the Cafelumbus portfolio. It enables us to produce exceptional estate single-variety Caturra, alongside various microlots, including natural Caturra and Maragogipe, as well as Geisha.

Gonzalo, the farm manager, has been an integral part of our team for the past 8 years. We’re deeply appreciative of his dedication and willingness to learn about the intricacies of producing high-quality coffee. He’s also adept at leading a team of over 80 pickers each season. Every bean is 100% hand-picked.

For me, the mountains, the aroma of coffee, the vibrant colors of the flowers, and our daily hikes through this land between 1,600 and 2,050 meters above sea level have been a constant source of motivation. This is where we cultivate one of Colombia’s most cherished natural treasures: coffee. It’s a symbol of our identity as world-class coffee producers.

With over 70 years of coffee cultivation, it has become a legacy that my grandchildren will carry forward. Additionally, our 70-hectare natural reserve instills in us the responsibility to preserve nature for future generations.

Tending to and harvesting cherries from over 280,000 coffee trees, overseeing the entire process, fills me with immense pride. With 321 acres of land, our goal is to introduce specialty coffee to the world. I am passionately committed to exploring new blends of specialty coffee and proudly assume the role of the chief coffee picker for our Caturra and Maragogype microlots.
