Region Caldas

Villamaría is a Colombian municipality located in the region of Caldas. The area is fed by numerous sources of water and natural resources. Villamaría is located a few kilometres from the city of Manizales, whose urban areas are surrounded by the Chinchiná River. Our drying station "Jamaica" is located in Chinchiná, Caldas. The station currently represents the harvests of 30 to 50 coffee producing families in the surrounding area of Villarazo, sitting at altitudes higher than the drying station itself. As Jamaica sits at a lower altitude of 1300masl, it is better suited to the processing of honey and natural coffees due to the hotter temperatures found here.

This coffee was grown by Alberto Ramos at the farm La Floresta. The coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, followed by water processing and hand-sorting to remove any defects. Cherries are exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being de-pulped and rested in parchment. Parchment is gently washed and later dried under temperature-controlled conditions until ideal moisture content is achieved. This micro lot is 100% Caturra. The Caturra variety is a natural mutation of Bourbon and originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
