Colombia

Finca Monteblanco is a family-run farm managed by Rodrigo Sánchez Valencia, located in the Huila region of Colombia at an altitude of 1,730 meters. Covering 14 hectares, the farm is renowned for its innovation and meticulous approach to coffee processing. For this Coconut Lemonade Natural lot, Rodrigo selected the Purple Caturra variety, prized for its exceptional sweetness — a trait that fosters ideal conditions for microbial activity. These naturally occurring microorganisms are extracted and co-fermented with citrus fruits and dried coconut for 190 hours, using a sugar-rich substrate to boost energy and growth. Once this fermentation culture reaches optimal activity, it is combined with freshly harvested coffee cherries and sealed in closed tanks for a second fermentation stage lasting 180 hours. This process continues until the Brix level remains above 6° and the pH stays above 4 — critical thresholds that mark the coffee's peak flavor development.
