Colombia La Pradera

Dionel Chilito Lopez owns a 10-hectare farm called La Pradera, where he has 3 hectares planted with coffee. Dionel comes from a coffee-producing family, and like many other farmers, he got his start when his father gave him a small piece of land to plant 2,000 Caturra trees. These days he has replaced his Caturra with Gesha trees and has got very good results.

We bought our first lot from Dionel in 2017 and have been buying his coffee on and off ever since. His Geisha variety is always a standout on the cupping table and shines with sparkling acidity like mandarin citrus and berry notes that reminds us of ligonberries. Expect layers of other red fruits like red currants and a floral finish like jasmine.
