Rafael Medina is a passionate, third generation coffee farmer, dedicated to providing a quality life for his family and community. With over 20 years of experience, he has inherited a wealth of generational knowledge passed down from his parents and grandparents. Because of Rafael’s unwavering commitment to producing high quality coffees, he’s been able to provide his community with a lot of prosperity and development.
Located in the small village of Agua Blanca in Inza, Rafaels farm spans just two hectares, a common size for this region. Inza is home to two indigenous groups known for their resilience against Spanish conquerors, though it is primarily an agricultural municipality home to mainly small scale farmers. This region is also part of the Gran Macizo Colombiano, Colombia's main water source, and lies beneath beautiful snow capped mountains giving it a unique climate and ideal soil for cultivating coffee.
This lot follows an extended fermentation process, a methodical approach stemming from a deep understanding and application of knowledge by producers in high altitude areas. The goal of this process is to achieve optimal extraction of the mucilage by controlling two essential variables: temperature and pH. While this process can be risky if all variables are not properly considered, the end result is an enriched, highly complex cup.
This is a coffee we’ve been excited to offer since first tasting it on our cupping table. It’s juicy, sweet, and smooth, with a lot of fruity layers. We hope you enjoy its complexity with every sip!
