• We are thrilled to welcome one of our most anticipated coffees of this year—a spectacular, fruit-forward Anaerobic Natural Tabi from our longtime friend and partner, Jorge Rojas. 

  Jorge is a true leader in the specialty coffee community in Tolima. A 4th Generation coffee farmer, despite being 31 years young, Jorge has become a leader among the coffee growing community in Planadas. He is renowned for his expert skills in coffee processing and fermentation methods, and for leading the growth of interest in sustainable, exceptional coffee production among millennials in Colombia.

  The Anaerobic Natural process that Jorge uses for this lot is experimental, with a 72 hour anaerobic ferment as full-fruit followed by de-pulping and controlled 240 hour drying. This leads to a truly unique profile, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity; an exquisitely floral, aromatic filter coffee that simply cannot be missed.

• Finca El Jardin is the aptly named coffee farm owned and run by Jorge Rojas Vasquez, a true leader in the specialty coffee community in Tolima. This particular lot is a Tabi variety from Jorge Rojas’ impressive collection of coffee varieties – the farm is not named “El Jardin” (The Garden) for no reason! Grown at 1,840 meters, this lot is a truly unique expression of clean and bright Southern Tolima coffees. 

  Jorge is a 4th Generation coffee farmer, being introduced to the trade by his parents as a youngster. In 2016, at only 26 years old, he inherited the plot of land that is now El Jardin and since then has been pushing to experiment and advance his skill in every aspect of coffee production. At first, he was producing standard, but high quality, grades of coffee at El Jardin, but in 2018 he began to experiment with new processing and growing methods, and the quality as well as renown of the coffee from El Jardin began to increase.
