Very Special
This delicious coffee is the product of a progressive business spirit and a commitment to quality and sustainability.
Adriana and her husband left the city to build a farm and grow coffee, much like her parents and grandparents. One difference, though: she focused on the top-tier specialty varieties and on quality throughout the entire production process.
The anaerobic washed Gesha lot we’re sharing is proof of their approach and quality: it’s delicious, fun, and delicate.
About the farm and producer
For Adriana, coffee farming was always a dream. Coming from a 3rd coffee-producing family, she and her husband wanted to return to the land but do things differently. Instead of following traditional methods, they focused on exotic coffee varieties and specialised processes, ensuring high-quality beans while prioritising sustainability.
Their journey into specialty coffee began eight years ago, encouraged by a friend who assured them this was the future of Colombian coffee. Their efforts quickly paid off—Adriana and her husband have already won two prestigious awards: First Place at the Corazón Cafetero International Coffee Fair and Coffee Media’s 2024 Producer of the Year.
Beyond coffee, their farm is a place of creativity and sustainability. They repurpose coffee byproducts into desserts, jellies, and more, while also growing bananas, yucca, citrus, and avocados. Their next big project? Transforming the farm into an agro-tourism destination, integrating gastronomy, hospitality, and nature experiences. They’re even developing the “Mythological Forest El Progreso”, where visitors will learn about local legends tied to nature.
Adriana’s greatest challenge is training coffee pickers to select only the best cherries, ensuring top-tier quality. To fellow farmers, she shares this advice: “Don’t be afraid to plant specialty coffee and embrace innovation.”
