OUR STORY
A Colombian family’s legacy of specialty coffee. Explore our rich heritage in every sip.
Aroma de herencia
In the heart of Quindio, Colombia, the Gomez family has nurtured their coffee tradition for generations. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, they’ve transformed their family-owned plantation into a thriving haven for specialty coffee.
Today, their coffee plantation boasts nearly 60,000 coffee plants, showcasing a rich tapestry of varietals such as Castillo, Geisha, Bourbon, and Cenicafé. But what truly sets their beans apart is the meticulous process that begins from the very moment of harvest. Only the ripest coffee cherries are carefully selected, ensuring that each bean is bursting with flavor potential. These hand-picked cherries then undergo a delicate fermentation process, where any imperfections are painstakingly removed to ensure the highest quality.
At an altitude of 1,480 meters above sea level, the Gomez plantation enjoys the perfect conditions for coffee cultivation. It’s this altitude, coupled with the region’s unique microclimate, that imparts the beans with their distinctive flavors. The coffee cherries thrive under the watchful gaze of the Gomez family, who meticulously oversee every aspect of the plantation’s operation.
But the journey from cherry to cup doesn’t end there. The coffee beans are expertly roasted to perfection, their flavor profiles lovingly developed. Each batch undergoes a rigorous evaluation, with experienced coffee tasters meticulously scoring the beans. Only those that achieve exceptional scores, exemplifying extraordinary flavor and aroma, earn the esteemed title of “specialty coffee.”
