Colombia Finca La Maria

Finca La Maria follows the sustainability path in the coffee producing region of Caldas, which is part of the famous Colombian Coffee Triangle. There, the majority of Colombian coffee is produced. The region is known for the steep-sloped valleys and the hot and rainy climate is ideal for cultivating coffee. Colombia is one of the coffee producing countries in the world which invest most in scientific coffee research due to the importance of the crop to the country’s economy. This is one of the reasons why they have developed in 2005 the Arabica variety Castillo which is rust leaf resistant. Today it is grown along the typical for the country Bourbon with excellent results. The coffee of Finca La Maria combines these two varieties and is processed with the anaerobical fermentation called Fermentum Aqua Batch. It is done in a stainless steel tank under water which is inoculated with a blend of lactic bacteria and yeast to enhance the most desired flavors of the coffee.
