Spring is found in Colombia, in the upper part of the Bruselas district, in the municipality of Pitalito, at 1,650 meters above sea level. Its microclimate —sunny days and cold nights— favors a slow ripening of the fruit and the development of high-altitude coffees.
It is a second-generation coffee farm, with 25 hectares, 17 of which are dedicated to coffee and 8 are preserved as a nature reserve. Production is distributed among approximately 25,000 trees of varieties such as Castillo, Caturra, Cenicafé, and Rosé Bourbon.
The property was used for cattle farming until 1995, when the transition to coffee began with traditional varieties such as Caturra and Castillo. From 2005 the focus shifted to higher-quality coffees, with varietal changes and the consolidation of Bourbon Rosado. Today at La Primavera, washed and natural methods are used within a system aimed at diversifying profiles.
Rodrigo Molina and Inés Marina Galíndez
Rodrigo and Inés Marina are a married couple of coffee growers with a long track record in the sector. They started with traditional methods and over time focused entirely on specialty coffee.
Today they handle the full management of the farm — maintenance and harvesting included — with the support of local workers. Between them they farm around 20 hectares of coffee, where they have been adding various controlled fermentation processes, refined through trial and error.
