Farm Info

Finca Monteblanco, a family-run farm in San Adolfo, Huila, is managed by Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia and Claudia Samboni. Sitting atop a mountain, its unique climate fosters the growth of exotic coffee varieties like Geisha, Pink Bourbon, Pacamara, and Purple Caturra.

Each harvest, Finca Monteblanco produces micro-lots that serve as competition coffees around the world. Coffees from Monteblanco are milled and prepared for export at the new, state-of-the-art Aromas del Sur dry mill in Pitalito.

Selected microorganisms like Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are cultivated and blended with citrus juices and dehydrated coconut to create a mother culture. Coffee cherries ferment with this culture for 190 hours, maintaining Brix above 6 and pH above 4 to enhance fruit notes while preserving the coffee’s natural profile.
