More about Colombia Huila - Arnulfo Leguizamo

Description

Arnulfo Leguizamo of Finca La Primavera is the kind of grower who every cafetero in Colombia aspires to be: As a member of Asociación Los Naranjos, he is a leader in his community and supports his fellow farmers in their efforts to improve their quality. In 2011, he won the first prize at the Cup of Excellence with coffee from this farm. An unprecedented price of $45/lb was paid for the Cup of Excellence–winning coffee. In 2013 his coffee was used by Pete Licata to win the World Barista Competition.

Despite those huge success stories, Arnulfo Leguizamo continues to be a hard-working, approachable, and generous producer, and an inspiration to others—including his son Diego, who has started managing Finca El Faldon alongside his father. 

Country and Region Sidra

Colombia is famous for growing some of the best coffee beans in the world; the plants thrive under the shade of banana trees in the tropical climate.

Located in southwestern Colombia, Huila is nestled in-between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with the middle area called the Magdalena Valley. The variation in elevation results in Huila being one of the country's most unique and complex regions of coffee production. Its terroir, climate, and harvest cycles all contribute to the quality of coffee produced here. The most impressive quality behind the coffees coming out of Huila lies in the people producing them. While Huila accounts for nearly 20% of the country's production, 80% of coffee producers operate on less than three hectares.

Process: Washed

Colombia is best-known for its Washed coffees. While the processing details might vary slightly from farm to farm or by association, generally the coffee is picked ripe and depulped the same day, then given an open-air fermentation in tanks or buckets for anywhere between 12–36 hours. The coffee is washed clean of its mucilage before being dried either on patios, in
parabolic dryers, solar driers, or mechanically. Some Washed coffees in Colombia are mechanically demucilaged.

Variety: Sidra

Colombia’s Sidra coffee is a true gem in the world of specialty coffee, combining rare genetics, experimental farming, and meticulous processing to produce a cup that’s as vibrant as it is unforgettable.

Sidra is a variety developed by Nestle in Pichincha, Ecuador. It is a hybrid varietal of Arabica coffee that is believed to have originated from a cross between Ethiopian heirloom varietals with Bourbon and Typica.
