Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Yobani Ramos and her husband Yaved Guarnizo own Finca La Fuente, a small farm at the end of the road in Tarqui, Central Huila. Their roughly six hectares climb from 1,825 up to 2,000 metres above sea level, planted with Caturra, Colombia and Pink Bourbon. The cool, high-altitude air lets the cherries ripen slowly, building the sugars and complexity behind this cup.

The farm is grown to organic and biodynamic principles, with care for both the plants and the wildlife around them. Yaved makes his own composts and natural pesticides, while the recently renovated wet mill — new tiled tanks and shade-covered drying beds — lets them slow the drying and protect every detail of flavour. The result is a clean, fruit-driven lot that showcases the very best of Colombia.

How to Brew Finca La Fuente

If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer; if it turns bitter or heavy, grind coarser. Small adjustments go a long way with a delicate washed coffee like this one.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

Brewed as filter at around 15g per cup, a 250g bag makes roughly 16 cups, and a 1.5kg bag makes about 100 cups. That is a good run of mornings to get to know a high-altitude Colombian single origin that does not come around often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as filter or espresso?
This is a filter coffee at heart. The light roast and bright, fruity character shine through a pour-over or batch brew. You can pull it as espresso, but expect a lively, acidity-forward shot rather than a classic chocolatey one.

What does it taste like?
Red berries up front, with lychee and melon sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish. It is light-bodied and elegant — juicy and fruit-forward rather than dark or roasty.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. For the brightest flavour, rest the beans a few days after roasting, then brew within about a month of opening.

Any tips for the best cup?
Use filtered water at 93°C and a 1:17 ratio (24g coffee to 400ml water) over about three minutes. Dial your grind to taste: finer if it is sharp or thin, coarser if it is bitter.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
