This exceptional coffee is the result of the passion and dedication of Mrs. Blanca, a recognized grower and leader in the coffee industry in Huila. She has dedicated her life to cultivating high-quality coffee since she was 15, making Finca La Colmena a symbol of excellence and sustainability.

At Finca La Colmena, Mrs. Blanca has created something truly special. Coffee plants coexist with beehives in a unique ecosystem where nature and agriculture blend in perfect harmony. During the blooming season, bees play a crucial role in pollinating the coffee plants, enhancing production by up to 30%. This natural process not only boosts the volume of coffee produced but also enriches the flavor of the beans, making them sweeter and endowing the final coffee with a unique and balanced taste profile.

Thanks to Mrs. Blanca's relentless effort and vision, Finca La Colmena has earned significant accolades, including being a finalist in prestigious competitions such as the Cup of Excellence, not just once but twice. These achievements highlight the high quality of the coffee produced and a commitment to sustainable and environmentally respectful practices.

The coffee from Finca La Colmena is distinguished not only by its story and its positive impact on the environment but also by its distinctive characteristics. Grown at an altitude ranging from 1500 to 1650 meters above sea level, the Catuai variety is manually harvested between October and January and processed using a washing method that ensures the purity and quality of its flavor. This coffee is certified by the Rainforest Alliance, demonstrating our commitment to responsible and ecosystem-friendly agricultural practices.

However, it is the aromatic profile where Colombia Finca La Colmena truly unveils its essence: a blend of fruity aromas with a silky body, sweet honey notes, and vibrant cherry and strawberry nuances.

According to the SCA cupping protocol, this coffee has achieved a score of 83 points.
