HISTORY:
Wilder Lazo, our coffee maverick, ventured into the world of coffee in 2017 when he lent a hand to his father on a farm nestled in the San Adolfo mountains. Driven by his unwavering passion for coffee and his family's rich history in the trade, Wilder took a rather distinctive route into the coffee realm. He didn't just dip his toes into specialty coffee; he dove right in. Thanks to his genetic expertise and an insatiable appetite for learning, he kickstarted a varietal program. Today, it boasts over a dozen distinctive coffee varieties, cherry-picked from diverse sources. It's the coffee journey of a lifetime!
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
This Gesha undergoes a double fermentation process, immersed in anaerobic mucilage for 140 hours, enhancing floral and citric notes. Following this, an 18-day sun exposure, infused with tangerine peel for extra zest, adds depth to the flavor profile. Next, it undergoes a 25-day stabilization period post-sun soak before the grand milling finale.

HISTORY:
This Red & Yellow Caturra is one of the flagship coffees produced at El Vergel Estate, located in the microlot next to the washing station, and surrounded by Guava trees, this coffee profile has been one of the most intense and fruity coffees developed by the estate. Planted in 2016 and 2018 with a quantity of more than 40.000 plants, this lot has been one of the best of the estate to experiment with processing bigger lots. Back in 1995, the Bayter Family rolled up their sleeves and dove headfirst into the agricultural scene at El Vergel farm. Avocado was their main squeeze, but when avocado prices took a nosedive in 2006, they knew it was time to shake things up. So, they tossed some coffee varieties into the mix – catimore, red, yellow caturra – and boom, a coffee empire was born! Fast forward to 2016, and with a little guidance from coffee guru Miguel Jimenez, they planted specialty coffee varieties, setting the stage for some serious coffee greatness. Then, in a stroke of genius, they embraced natural coffee processes in 2018, tinkering with fermentation control like mad scientists in a lab. And let's not forget their claim to fame – the Koji fermentation process, a game-changer in the green coffee game! Now, meet the dynamic trio behind the scenes: Martha Montenegro, along with her coffee-savvy partners Elias and Shady. Together, they're not just brewing coffee; they're brewing up a whole community revolution! Their mission? To blend tech magic with coffee passion and sprinkle a little extra joy into the lives of everyone at El Vergel Estate.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
The journey of Guava Banana coffee begins with the careful selection of ripe Red and Yellow Caturra cherries, ensuring exceptional quality from the renowned El Vergel Estate in Fresno, Tolima, managed by farmers Elías and Shady Bayter. The beans undergo a 48 to 60-hour anaerobic fermentation, which enhances their unique flavor profile. Initially dried in the sun on raised beds in a "Marquesina" until they reach 30% moisture, the beans then move to mechanical drying in circular dryers at temperatures below 45°C until they achieve 18%-16% moisture. After a pre-stabilization stall to intensify flavors, the drying process is completed mechanically until optimal moisture is achieved. The beans are then stabilized for 45 days in GrainPro bags, ensuring consistency and quality. This meticulous natural anaerobic process results in a rich and complex flavor profile with notes of chocolate, plum, guava, red fruits, citric acid, and tangerine. Guava Banana coffee exemplifies the expertise and dedication in coffee processing, offering a distinctive and delightful coffee experience.

HISTORY:
Around 80 years ago, Ricardo Hernández and Concepción Castillo set out to settle on "Los Nogales," a farm in Pitalito, Huila, with a dream to make a name in coffee history. Their love led to the birth of eight children who devoted their lives to the countryside. One of the siblings stood out, leading the family to be remembered in the coffee world. In 1952, Ricaurte Hernández, the youngest son, was born. He worked as a farmer and discovered the value of generosity, humility, and entrepreneurship through his experiences on the land; his dream was to see his children grow up on his farm with the values he cherished. In Valle del Cauca, Ricaurte met his life partner, Suldery Arango, a woman with coffee in her veins, and together they built a coffee empire. In 2005, their estate won first place in Colombia's "Cup of Excellence" contest, thanks to the family's dedication.
Ricaurte was a visionary, always looking for innovative practices in coffee cultivation and business. His life ended tragically in 2013 due to violence in the Colombian countryside, leaving a legacy of resilience and inspiration for coffee farmers across the country. After Ricaurte's death, the family considered selling the farm, but Oscar Fernando, his youngest son, decided to honor his father's legacy and took over the farm.
His dedication to sustainable practices and innovation, coupled with his experience in environmental management, has transformed Los Nogales into a modern coffee production center, producing high-quality coffee while emphasizing research, technological innovation, and environmental conservation.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
The journey of this decaf coffee begins with the careful selection of ripe cherries, ensuring exceptional quality. After disinfecting with treated water, the best cherries are chosen through a water density process. Then, the beans undergo a 90-hour fermentation with sourdough-like starters, enhancing their unique flavors. Following fermentation, they are meticulously washed. Caffeine is extracted over 48 hours using a natural solvent derived from coffee pulp, preserving the coffee's flavor and aroma. Finally, an 8-day drying process in a controlled environment ensures the ideal moisture level for freshness and quality.
