Origin and Processing

It grows in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, a unique territory shaped by altitude, proximity to the Caribbean, and a deep connection with Indigenous communities that maintain a strong relationship with the land.

This coffee comes from the work of Oliverio Villafaña together with around 60 Arhuaco families, who cultivate small plots where coffee grows alongside crops used in daily life. It is a coffee with clear identity: no unnecessary spectacle, just real origin, careful work, and an honest cup.

The washed process helps highlight clarity, citrus acidity, and aromatic precision. The result is a fresh, orderly, and very balanced cup: more classic than a natural, but with enough character to stand out within the range.
