Located in the highest area of Sotara, just 30 mins from Cauca's capital of Popayan, Finca Juan Martin is dedicated to developing environmentally-conscious practices as well as providing jobs to community members with educational opportunities. The goal and focus of this project is to cultivate, harvest, and process different varieties in order to develop appropriate practices for each step toward optimum coffee quality. This innovative and experimental farm serves as a resource and example for other coffee producers in the region.
Coffees here are cultivated, harvested, and processed while adhering to the highest standards of quality, organization, and control depending on the ambient conditions as well as the specific needs required by each variety as determined by various factors including Brix level, moisture content, and desired cup characteristics.
When brewed, the coffee is floral and delicate with aromas of honeysuckle and chamomile upfront, a peach-like acidity and notes of crisp chardonnay.
