Colombia Finca Tamana Variedad Colombia

The everyday hero from Tim Wendelboe's flagship Colombian farm.

Finca Tamana is a 57-hectare farm in the mountains between El Pital and La Plata, Huila, run by Elias Roa and Bellanid Sanchez since 2011. Tim Wendelboe has worked alongside them for over a decade, slowly refining how this coffee is picked, processed and dried — and the result is anything but ordinary.

Tasting notes: Caramel · chocolate · red fruits.

The variety

Variedad Colombia was bred by Cenicafé, the national coffee research institute, as a leaf-rust-resistant cross of Caturra and the Timor Hybrid. It keeps Caturra-like cup quality with far more disease resistance, which is why it is now one of the most widely grown varieties in Colombia. Picked super-ripe at a deep purple, its occasional herbal edge fades and sweet red-fruit notes come forward.

How it's grown & processed

Selectively hand-picked under Elias's supervision and sorted for ripeness, fermented 24 hours in stainless steel, washed on a water-saving eco-mill, soaked another 24 hours and dried on parabolic beds under shade nets for 20–30 days. Clean, careful, and consistent year to year.
