Catalina Vazquez
Catalina Vazquez belongs to the fourth generation of coffee producers from the Antioquia region, where coffee first arrived in Colombia more than 180 years ago. This is why they already have a wealth of experience.
Full of youth and energy, she has transformed the production of the La Colombia estate toward high-quality coffees and now surprises us with this microlot of the most prized varietal.
Gonzalo
Gonzalo, the farm manager at this location, has been part of the team for the past eight years. We are grateful for his commitment and openness to learning about the importance of producing high-quality coffee, as well as for successfully managing a team of over 80 pickers each season.
All coffee is hand-picked. This highly productive enterprise provides quality employment for 15 women and 30 men year-round.
Each coffee cherry is hand-picked and selected by specialized staff in the field. It is also re-selected at the processing plant to obtain the best cup quality, ensuring the happiness of our customers. The beautiful coffee landscape, water resources, and protected forest and reserved areas led to the farm's certification by the Rainforest Alliance and Good Practices.
