Villamaria - Colombia

Located in the mountains of Caldas, Colombia, Villamaría is a coffee-growing region just outside Manizales, surrounded by lush landscapes, rivers and rich natural resources. At around 1,800 metres above sea level, local smallholder farmers cultivate coffee in the highlands, where favourable growing conditions contribute to the quality and character of their harvests.

Through a project developed by Raw Material, coffee cherries from 30 to 50 farming families are collected at La Aurora before being transported to the Jamaica processing station in Chinchiná. This Pink Bourbon undergoes an Anoxic Washed process, using cold water and a low-oxygen environment to control fermentation, followed by slow drying on raised beds. The result is an expressive coffee with notes of papaya and black tea, combining vibrant fruit character with delicate sweetness.
