Coffee Background

Located in San Gil, Santander is a farm sitting at 1,900 meters above sea level called Finca Santa Cecilia. At that alltitude, the coffee cherries take ten months to ripen, and due to the longer maturation process, concentrates the flavors and results in an exquisite taste. The coffee is subtle and elegant with a mild acidity and a juicy body. A sweet, well-balanced cup with notes of milk chocolate, honey, and raspberries that linger through the finish. This coffee is well-rounded and a delight to drink.

Finca Santa Cecilia is managed by twin sisters Monica and Veronica, third-generation coffee growers. The farm is a sort of paradise, with a natural reserve serving as a refuge for several species of birds and mammals, as well as native tree species. Intercropped with coffee are other products like bananas and plantains, which provide shade for the coffee trees and help diversify the farm's production, offering an additional source of revenue. Most of the coffee is of the Castillo and Cenicafe 1 varietals, and the farm only has approximately 32,000 trees, meaning there is a limited coffee production each year.

We are proud to be able to offer this well nurtured coffee to our neighbours in and around Killarney.
