Nestled in the heart of Colombia’s coffee region, Quindío produces some of the world’s finest single-origin coffees. At an altitude of 1,550 meters, local family farms benefit from rich volcanic soil and a temperate climate. Generations of farmers meticulously hand-select each coffee cherry, ensuring only the ripest beans are harvested. Standout varieties such as Geisha, Tabi, Mocha, and Bourbon Rosado are exotic and rare, reflecting the region’s commitment to excellence. Quindío’s meticulous processing methods ensure its coffees rank among the best in the world, making them a must-try for coffee enthusiasts.
The coffee farm has deep roots in family tradition, beginning with Rafael Posada Mejía, who, in 1920, purchased a small plot in Montenegro, Quindío, after moving from Betania, Antioquia. Over the generations, the farm became a cornerstone of the family, enduring despite the hardships of displacement due to violence in Colombia. Passed down through inheritance, the farm, now located in Quimbaya, Quindío, continues to thrive. It cultivates not just traditional coffee, but also newer varieties like Geisha, Tabi, Bourbon Rosado, and Mocha. The farm stands as a testament to resilience, love, and a commitment to social progress in Colombia, providing valuable employment and maintaining a legacy of quality coffee production.
