Finca Las Flores

One of the most famous coffee-producing regions is Huíla - and for good reason. Huíla has a perfect mix of fertile soils, high altitude and an ideal climate for growing specialty coffee.

Located in the municipality of Acevedo, Finca Las Flores stands out in this region. Here, Jhoan Manuel Vergara Ayure produces exceptional micro-lots , cultivating varieties such as Bourbon Rosa, Tabi, Java and Maracaturra. Founded in the 1990s, Finca Las Flores has evolved from a farm with 18,000 trees to a sprawling estate with 90,000 trees.

In 2006, the Ayure family embarked on their specialty coffee journey by participating in the Cup of Excellence competition. Since then, and now with the support of their son, Jhoan, they have dedicated themselves to improving and distinguishing their coffee offerings.

An example of this dedication is this beautiful micro-lot of washed Red Bourbon, obtained through a partnership with Loha Beans . Hand-picked at optimum ripeness, with brix degrees of 22-26°, the cherries were then disinfected and fermented in plastic bags for 12 hours and then for a further 24 hours in tanks.

After fermentation, the coffee was dried in hermetically sealed stainless steel dehumidifiers until it reached a humidity level of 11%. The result in the cup is a true delight.

In the Cup

A silky, velvety mouthfeel with a juicy sweetness, with vibrant flavours of strawberry and melon smoothie, delicate floral notes of elderflower and a lingering, honeyed finish.

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.
