Finca Tamana, run by farmers Elias Roa and Bellanid Sanchez, is located in the El Pital region of Huila, Colombia. This region is known for its ideal altitude for growing coffee plants. The Castillo variety grown here by Elias and Bellanid comes from the regional Tambo selection. Castillo Tambo is a hybrid variety characterized by stable flavors. It was selected for its excellent flavor consistency and is one of the best coffees produced by the farmers at Tamana. Combined with a meticulous approach to cultivation and processing, this coffee is ideal for those seeking a rich and balanced espresso experience.
The coffee is processed using the washed method, where the cherries are hand-picked and sorted to ensure that only fully ripe cherries are processed. After harvesting, the coffee cherries undergo fermentation and subsequent washing in an organic wet mill. Drying takes place on drying beds, where the coffee acquires its purity and necessary balance. Thanks to these careful processing methods, the coffee retains its characteristic flavor with a subtle bitterness and sweetness of chocolate and fruit.
