Origin:

Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia is a third-generation coffee farmer at Finca Monteblanco. His grandfather began cultivating coffee in these areas decades ago, and today Rodrigo continues his work, striving to maintain the farm's natural diversity and high productivity.

In 2017, coffees from Finca Monteblanco, distinguished by their unique varieties and proprietary processing methods, won first place in the Yara Championship quality competition. A year later, Rodrigo took second place with another lot from the same farm. In 2019, he participated in the Roasters United competition, where his two coffees placed first and third.

Finca Monteblanco is located near Cueva de los Guacharos – one of Colombia's 59 protected national parks. The Suaza River also flows nearby, providing clean water used for coffee cultivation and processing.

At Finca Monteblanco, Rodrigo cultivates Caturra, Geisha, Pink Bourbon, and Pacamara varieties. The high altitude and excellent microclimate of the Acevedo region in the Huila department create ideal conditions for producing specialty coffees.

Processing and flavor notes:

Ripe coffee cherries are carefully hand-picked and delivered to the wet mill located on the farm. Before processing, Rodrigo prepares a special blend of microorganisms – combining Lactobacillus, Saccharomyces, and Cerevisiae strains, creating a total of 10 different yeasts that support the fermentation process. To this blend, he also adds passion fruit to enrich the coffee's flavor profile, and sugar-rich ingredients – such as molasses, panela (unrefined cane sugar), or cane sugar – which serve as nutrients for the fermenting microorganisms. The entire mixture is sealed and fermented for 8 days.

After this stage, the ripe cherries are depulped, and the coffee beans are returned to the same fermented fruit mixture, where they ferment for an additional 180 hours (7.5 days).

Once fermentation is complete, the parchment coffee beans are thoroughly washed in clean water and then sun-dried on parabolic beds. During drying, the beans are frequently turned to ensure even drying. The entire drying process takes approximately 20–25 days.

Delicious coffee. Amazing taste. Highly recommended :).
