The Story Behind Finca Las Flores
Finca Las Flores isn’t just a farm—it’s a legacy in the making. Nestled in the highlands of Acevedo, Huila, the farm is run by the Vergara brothers—Carlos, Jhoan, and Diego. These third-generation coffee farmers are committed to pushing the envelope in terms of innovation and flavour. Their dedication to quality over everything has earned them a spot at the forefront of Colombia’s specialty coffee scene.
The farm spans 14.5 hectares, where the Sidra varietal thrives in rich volcanic soil and high-altitude conditions. The result? A coffee that’s bursting with character and a little bit of magic.
How It’s Made: The Wild Ride That Is Anaerobic Thermal Shock
This coffee isn’t just made—it’s crafted with care and precision, thanks to the Vergara brothers’ genius processing. The cherries go through a two-stage fermentation process:
18 hours in permeable fiber bags (letting the flavours breathe and get ready to pop)
36 hours in plastic barrels for that anaerobic kick (we’re talking serious complexity here)
But that’s not all—next comes a thermal shock wash that starts with a warm rinse at 35°C, followed by solar drying for 12-15 days under canopies to lock in the juicy, fruity goodness.
This wild processing method creates a cup with bold aromas and a clean, crisp flavour profile, all while showcasing the coffee’s fruity layers—from black cherry and strawberry jam to a floral, hibiscus-like finish.
Sidra: A Coffee with a Tough Exterior and a Sweet Heart
The Sidra varietal may look tough (with its dark green leaves and chunky cherries), but inside? It’s full of sparkling citrus acidity, sweet tropical fruit, and floral sweetness. This hybrid is a resilient one, thriving in high-altitude plots like those at Finca Las Flores. If you're into bold coffees with big flavours, this is a total showstopper.
