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.

Purple Caturra cherries with high Brix levels are fermented using a cultured blend of Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae developed with lemon and mint infusions. The coffee ferments in sealed tanks with the mother culture for 150 hours, maintaining Brix above 6 and pH above 4 to enhance complexity while preserving the coffee’s natural character.
