The Producer

After four years as a decaf exclusive, we’re thrilled to present Villamaría in its full, caffeinated glory. Local farmers deliver and sell their coffee cherries to Villamaría, in Caldas, Colombia. This is an uncommon model in a country where most producers sell parchment to cooperatives or process it themselves. This approach prioritises stable prices and sustainable farmer income, expanding regional production while improving overall quality.  Freshly harvested cherries are delivered and sold to Villamaria’s buying point ‘La Aurora’, where they are floated, sorted, and rested in cherry for 24 hours. The next day, they are taken to ‘Jamaica’, the processing station, for 48 hours of additional fermentation in cherry. The coffee is then dried on raised beds in a temperature-controlled greenhouse for about 15 days before finishing in a mechanical dryer for 3–4 days.  Careful control of humidity and temperature throughout ensures consistent, high-quality natural lots.
