Coffee has always been part of Ever’s life.

Coming from a family with a long history of coffee production, it’s no surprise that when he was younger he used to help his father around the farm.

Over time, Ever learned more about producing coffee and eventually decided to become an independent producer and start a business on his own.

In his growth as a producer, Ever started appreciating and loving every single step of the process. He says his main passion is now producing coffee becoming better every day.

More than 20 years ago, Ever started focusing on improving his production process, adjusting them to produce a coffee with a superior quality and aggregated value.

Since then, Ever has been able to know and understand better his product, its quality and processes. He learned to cup coffee and now he understands the good things and defects of his own coffee and how to improve them at farm level. In this process of producing specialty coffee, Ever implemented a long and slow drying process and extended his fermentation times.

Ever’s family is very united and they work all together, but the best part, is that they know their objective and they all work towards it, producing high-end coffees on Finca El Higuero.

Our coffee philosophy
Our business approach

Fresh harvest coffee

We only source and roast coffee from each country’s latest harvest season (so the green coffee is never older than 1 year from the time of picking, processing and packing). This ensures the sensory qualities are always at their peak and unaffected by excessive ageing.

Roasted for espresso and filter (best enjoyed black)

Roast style: omni. Omni roasts are designed to brew and taste great both as espresso and filter. Our omni single origins generally sit on Agtron values in the ~70-60 value range. So, technically, they are somewhere in the lighter side of the medium spectrum.

Designed for espresso and filter brewing. Best enjoyed black.

Our roasting style and approach

Best brewed within days 15-49 post-roast

The ‘fresh is best’ saying doesn’t apply to coffee (contrary to popular belief). Waiting before opening and brewing your bag of whole coffee beans helps develop peak flavour and acidity.

But heads up: if you buy pre-ground coffee, brew it as soon as possible.

Variety

Caturra variety

Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon that was originally discovered in Brazil in 1937, considered to be the first naturally occurring mutation ever discovered.

The location

Coffee from Colombia

Colombia is one of the largest coffee producers in the world and benefits greatly from having one of the most unique and complex set of micro-climates of all coffee producing nations.

The Huila region of Colombia

This region boasts the perfect combination of high quality soil and geography and is quickly becoming one of the largest coffee producing regions in Colombia. One of the best regarded regions for high quality, fruit driven coffee.

Farm processes

Washed process

Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
