STORY: Finca El Jardin is located in Tolima, Colombia, in the town of Planadas, and is managed by Jorge Elías Rojas. The farm is located at an altitude of approximately 1,857 meters and consists of approximately 7.5 hectares of coffee. Jorge is a 4th generation coffee grower. His story in coffee began when he was 13 years old, when his mother gave him the opportunity to be involved in the farm, giving him the chance to learn everything that was needed to run a coffee farm. When he grew up, he inherited part of his father’s farm, but also bought part of a neighbor’s land to create what is now Finca El Jardin.
Jorge has some interesting ideas and since 2016, when he was introduced to specialty coffee, he is always trying to find new ways to improve the quality of his coffee. He has developed his own fermentation and drying process, which starts with a very strict selection of coffee cherries during the harvest. Upon arriving to the wet-mill, the cherries are selected by hand to make sure remove immature and other low-quality beans. Afterwards, the coffee is placed in sealed tanks for 72 hours, then de-pulped and fermented again for another 38 hours in the same tanks. After this fermentation process, the coffee is washed or left to dry with the mucilage (honey). This particular lot is a honey processed bourbon variety.
The coffee is sweet with wonderful complexity! You are going to want to grab this gem and prepare for an outstanding coffee experience. You will taste the Jorge’s dedication to his coffee and see why he is slowly building a name for himself.
We roast and ship every Monday & Thursday. Orders must be received by 5PM on Sunday and Wednesday to ensure it gets added to our production. Orders placed after 5PM on on Sunday and Wednesday will be roasted and shipped out the next production day.
