Information:
Luis Anibal Calderon is the owner of Finca Villa Betulia, located
in Acevedo, in the Huila department. Luis lives with his wife
and 3 sons and he has been growing coffee for over 40 years.
He began planting specialty coffee varieties in 2012 when he planted
5,000 trees of Geisha on around 5% of his farm. Ten years later turns
out that from cultivating Geisha were worth the extra effort, so he
decided to dedicated his entire farm to more delicate and rare exotic
coffee varieties, such as Pink Typica, Stripped Bourbon, Pink Bourbon,
Java, Sidra, Pacamara, Maragogype, alongside Geisha.
On Finca Villa Betulia you will find all sorts of exotic varieties including
Red Gesha, Typica, Sidra, Wush Wush, Mokka or Java. Our authentic
microlot is a JAVA 100%. This coffee was carefully hand-picked in order
to use only the ripest cherries and after it has been harvested the coffee
cherries are exposed to a dry anaerobic of 72 hours fermentation with
pulp on. Then it is moved to grainpro bags below 20 degrees Celsius,
in this environment bacteria feeds from carbohydrates and sugars
from mucilage. This leads to a higher concentration of lactic acid.
Afterwards it was washed in clean water and placed on raised beds to 10.5-11% moisture content.
