Colombia Finca Santa Monica Strawberry Macerated

This coffee was produced by Jairo Arcila on Finca Santa Monica, a farm located in the Quindío department of western Colombia. Jairo spent forty years working as a mill manager for one of Colombia’s largest coffee exporters until his retirement in 2019. A third generation coffee producer, Jairo purchased his first farm in 1987, and over the years he has managed to acquire an additional five farms.

Jairo’s two sons, Carlos and Felipe, are carrying on the family tradition of producing outstanding coffee. In 2015, they formed Cofinet, a family business focused on producing, sourcing, and exporting coffees with unique flavor profiles achieved through the use of alternative fermentation processes. Carlos and Felipe have helped Jairo improve coffee quality by implementing better picking and sorting practices, and by planting higher quality potential varieties.
