COLOMBIA - La Loma (espresso)

orange, plum, chocolate

This microlot was produced by Wilmer Moncayo and his wife Yenni Anacona, who own the six and a half hectare farm La Loma. The farm sits at 1,800m above sea level, and is located near the town of San Agustín, in the southwest of Colombia’s state of Huila. Like many of his neighbours, Wilmer grew up learning the trade at his family’s coffee farm, where he helped out during his teenage years. Eventually, he moved overseas and spent four years working in the United States. Having saved enough money during this time, Wilmer returned to San Agustín and purchased the land to establish La Loma. Because of the farm’s high elevation and Wilmer’s careful processing practices, all of La Loma’s coffees present a distinct winey character and abundant floral notes in the cup, regardless of their variety. Wilmer farms with traditional techniques, applying fertilisers around three times a year after manual weeding and rarely using pesticides.
