Finca Villa Betulia

Luis Anibal Calderón lives at Finca Villa Betulia with his wife and 4 children. He first bought the farm in 2005. Arley has a quality laboratory that allows him to roast and taste specialty coffees. With the laboratory, he can evaluate the coffees and find out what customers like. Luis' children work with him on the farm and are learning how to grow these special varieties.

In search of a way to remain profitable, he began planting special varieties of coffee in 2012, when he planted 5,000 Geisha trees on around 5% of his farm. Ten years later, Luis Anibal realized that the payoff from Geisha cultivation was worth the extra effort. He decided to dedicate his entire farm to growing special, more delicate and rare varieties, such as Geisha and Pink Bourbon from this batch. His dream is to produce 100% exotic varieties like these on his farm and he would like the consumers of his coffees to understand the effort and love that his family puts into their coffees.


Previously, it was thought that Pink Bourbon was a hybrid of the Yellow Bourbon and Red Bourbon varieties. The variety was first identified in and around Huila, Colombia.
Recent research has discovered that Pink Bourbon is not, in fact, Bourbon at all. Pink Bourbon most likely comes from an Ethiopian landrace variety.


Pink Bourbon has an incredibly high cup potential that impresses coffee professionals and consumers alike . Its impressively high cup quality makes even more sense now that we know that Pink Bourbon is not simply a hybrid of two Bourbon varieties, but rather a vestige of native Ethiopian varieties. Its siblings include the highly awarded Geisha, which has consistently produced incredibly high cup scores. Pink Bourbon will continue to be a very distinctive and appreciated variety.

Colombia

Although coffee production in Colombia did not become a commercial industry until the 19th century, it is likely that coffee was introduced to Colombia about a century earlier by Jesuit priests.
Colombia has a wide range of microclimates and geographic conditions that produce the unique flavors so prized in Colombian coffees. Although there are many sub-regions and increasingly smaller geographic designations - all in terms of individual farms - coffees in Colombia can be separated into three major regions whose climate, soils and altitudes affect tastes.
Coffees grown in the north (Magdalena, Casanare, Santander and Norte de Santander) are usually planted at lower altitudes where temperatures are higher. As such, these coffees tend to have deeper, earthier tastes with a medium acidity, more body and hints of nuts and chocolate.
Coffees from the central regions (Caldas, Quindío, Risaralda, Norte de Valle, Antioquia, Cundinamarca and Norte de Tolima) are celebrated for their general balance and for their fruity and herbaceous notes. Flavor variations highlight the specific characteristics of each micro-region.

The southern regions (Cauca, Nariño, Huila and Sul de Tolima) are appreciated for producing smooth coffees with high sweetness and citrus notes. They are also known for their medium body and more pronounced acidity.
