General Story

Teresa de Jesus is a traditional coffee producer who inherited her father’s farm in Palestina, Huila. Today she works with her son Linarco who decided to start implementing new processes techniques to improve the quality of their coffees. They grow Tabi, Gesha, Caturra, and Pink Bourbon in their 32 hectares farm from which 7 are dedicated to the coffee production. Teresa says that one key factor to produce outstanding coffees year after year is the selection of the cherries, a strict process that allows them to be as consistent as possible.

Linarco always tells us that to him, his mum is number one, whenever she calls, whatever she needs it doesn't matter what he is doing he goes. Someone very loyal, Linarco always talks to us about providing great products to the customer, always looking to develop the flavour profiles his clients request. For us, one of the most iconic is his Bourbon Panela, named as such for its incredible sweetness, it's a coffee we can go back to time and time again. Alongside this Lino is also producing more heavily fermented coffees such as his Castillo and Ombligon; he's producing more delicate varietals such as gesha with little fermentation and finally a line of co-fermented coffees such as his coco or 'piña colada'.

Today Linarco has 3 farms, Betania, Los Cedros & El Diviso, each with its own unique climactic conditions. In Los Cedros you can see his production of pink bourbon, while in El Diviso he has just began the first production of SL28 which is already delicious. Then finally at Finca Betania, he has all of the classic varietals produced by his family such as Caturra and Tabi.
