Colombia Santa Barbara

About this coffee

Santa Barbara Estate is located in the southwest growing region of Antioquia. Don Pedro Echavarria established the estate almost three decades ago with the vision of producing a superior quality Colombian Coffee. This vision is proudly shared by all in the Santa Barbara Estate family. Santa Barbara Estate is one of the few completely integrated coffee farms in Colombia, which ensures traceability and close quality control from the cherry on the tree until the moment that the coffee arrives at our roastery. A combination of factors such as climate, altitude, constant care, renovation of trees, and good volcanic soil provide the basis for excellent coffee production. Education and incentive programs encourage the estate’s workers to focus on coffee quality rather than quantity. The highly technological wet and dry mill processing is coupled with attention to detail and daily cup testing enabling Santa Barbara Estate to deliver an exceptional and consistent coffee.

Santa Barbara has been a Source Direct coffee at New Harvest since 2020. This coffee has been an important component in many of our non-organic blends since then, and has been offered in a limited capacity as a single origin. We are happy to finally give this coffee its due recognition and offer as a single origin!

We also cannot get enough of the wonderful artwork on this label. Art is by Kim Arthurs inspired by traveling to Santa Barbara and Antioquia, Colombia as part of New Harvest's Source Direct origin visits.
