Nestled between the rugged Andes ranges in Huila, Colombia, Luis Anibal Calderon has spent years turning a modest gift from his father into a world-class legacy. The gift of a small lot of land has blossomed into a lifelong pursuit of excellence.
At Finca Villa Betulia, coffee is a family mission; Luis leads his family as a team to work in harmony and elevate every harvest from their farm. A former Huila Best Cup finalist, Luis is a master of the challenging Natural process, which requires constant movement and precision to succeed in Colombia’s humid climate.This exceptional Microlot is the result of hand-selecting only the ripest cherries, followed by a 25-hour dry fermentation and a patient 25-day stay in a parabolic dryer. The reward is a cup that transcends the ordinary.
Every bag tells the story of a smallholder producer pushing the boundaries of Colombian specialty coffee; and by purchasing this coffee you’re supporting the current pinnacle of Luis’ pursuit, and funding future experiments and developments.
