Colombia Los Guaduales

This Colombian coffee is very aromatic and intense. When you grind it, you will smell a fruity aroma, with a balanced sweetness of cherry and chocolate and a long aftertaste. It's fun as an espresso and great as a filter coffee.

This complex and bright special prep was made possible by Jose Rodriguez, one of the farmers who collaborated with Cuatro Vientos this year.

Cuatro Vientos is a family-owned business, offering microlots and regional blends. Founded in 2018, the company was named after the first farm owned by the Gonzalez family, and therefore, holds a special meaning for them. Yonatan Gonzalez, the company’s General Manager, grew up on that farm, and is a third-generation producer with a background in logistics. His father used to commercialise coffee, as a classic, Colombian parchment buyer.

The company operates in different parts of Huila, which gives them access to coffee for 6 months per year. They have 3 purchasing points, located in each region they work in: Acevedo, Santa Maria, and Algeciras. They do not own a private drying mill, and therefore use infrastructure located in Acevedo.

Harvest
The main harvest in Santa Maria and Algeciras is between June & July, whereas in Acevedo, it falls between September and December. Even though the biggest volumes of coffee are produced in Santa Maria, we select lots from farms located in Algeciras and Acevedo.
