Colombia Santa Elena

This is an elegant Colombian coffee with lemony acidity and a floral, tea-like finish. If you like coffee with a clean aftertaste, this one is for you.

This coffee is produced by Maria Damaris Medina, a member of Coocentral (Central Huila Cooperative).

Santa Elena

Maria Damaris Medina and her husband Wilson, both from coffee-growing backgrounds, acquired their coffee cultivation skills from their parents. Their primary focus lies in crafting specialty coffee, exemplified by their decision to replace many Castillo trees with Pink Bourbon, a move aimed at elevating their coffee's quality.

"We strive to produce the finest coffee; this is what we have fought for," Maria emphasises.
