Story Behind This Coffee

Located in the temperate climate and mountainous terrain of southwest Antioquia, La Carmina, a lot within Finca El Descanso, has the perfect altitude and climate for producing excellent quality coffee as well as playing host to a diversity of native flora and fauna. This was the first of the Guerra Family’s farms, plotted over 100 years ago. The family now own a collection of farms and mills in the Antioquia region. Juan Carlos, the current family manager of the farms, is the great grandson of La Carmina’s founder. Today, it still radiates with greatness, growing the traditional yellow and red Colombia varietal, Caturra and Castillo. The family now run Green Hills, the exporting organization we work with to send their family’s wonderful coffees around the world , All coffee at La Carmina is selectively hand harvested and brought to the on-farm mill where they will dry on Eldas shaded by a roof. The cherries remain here for roughly 20 – 30 days depending on the environment and climate. The farm’s diligent environmental and social practices have led them to achieve Rainforest Alliance, UTZ Kapeh and 4C certification.
