Nátaga, located at the Southwestern border of Huila, is a beautiful part of Colombia. Nestled in the Andes mountains, the landscape is lush and expansive and the air warm and fragrant. Coffee is grown at high altitudes in Colombia and Laura’s farm, Finca La Rivera, is no exception at 1950 masl. Laura produces coffee alongside her sisters, Leonela, Maria Aricely, and Aleida.
In years past, we sourced a lovely collaboration lot from the sisters called Las Hermanas. We’ve also purchased several harvests from Leonela, all of which have been high-clarity washed process lots with notes like black tea and crisp apple. This is the first time we’ve roasted a honey processed coffee from one of the Rivera sisters and we are excited to share a brand new flavor profile from the same farm. Though producers in Colombia tend not to track the degree of honey process, Laura’s processing most closely resembles a red honey. Her micro lot was hand-selected at peak ripeness, depulped, and put out to dry for 25-30 days.
Sourced in partnership with Colombia-based exporter and importer, Osito Coffee since 2020.
