Farm Info

Finca La Loma, located in Vereda Agua Negra, Pitalito, Huila, is a 12-hectare farm owned by Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia and his wife, Claudia Samboni. Since 2011, they have cultivated a variety of coffee plants including Caturra, Variedad Colombia, Pink Bourbon, Pacamara, Laurina, and Geisha. The farm features a de-pulper and fermentation tanks.

Processing Method

• Selection: Coffee is harvested at 24–28 Brix and pH 5.6–5.9.
• Fermentation: Cherries ferment in harvesting bags for 36 hours, then float to remove impurities.
• Drying: Coffee is sun-dried for 6 days, then moved to shaded canopies for an additional 24 days to complete drying.
