This lot comes from Finca El Porvenir, located in Palestina, Huila, at an altitude of 1,750–1,850 meters above sea level, and managed by Sandra Milena Mora and Héctor Coy since 2006. Although the farm has 12 hectares, only 5 are used for coffee cultivation, keeping the rest as a nature reserve, reflecting their strong commitment to sustainability and biodiversity.

El Porvenir is home to approximately 20,000 Caturra trees, along with Tabi and young Pink Bourbon trees. A key milestone of the project has been the identification of two rust-resistant Caturra plants, from which new generations, provisionally known as Improved Caturra, have been developed, reinforcing the future resilience of the estate.

The coffee is grown 100% organically, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Sandra and Héctor produce their own natural fertilizer, applied once a year, taking care of both the coffee and the surrounding ecosystem. The harvest is done manually and in stages over approximately one month, ensuring a careful selection of ripe cherries.

After harvesting, the coffee undergoes a 36–48 hour wet fermentation, followed by meticulous washing. It is then pre-dried for 5 days on raised African beds and finished drying in a shaded dryer for approximately 20 days, depending on weather conditions. The result is a clean, sweet, and structured cup with great clarity and balance.

This coffee is an honest expression of the meticulous work and dedication of Sandra and Hector, producers with whom Koppi Roasters has collaborated closely for years, acquiring their entire production.
