Luzmila is a first-generation coffee farmer who has been cultivating coffee since 2008 alongside her husband, Eider, in Gaitania, Tolima—the third-largest coffee-producing region in Colombia, located in the country's west-central highlands.
This coffee is of the Caturra variety and grown exclusively at her El Oasis farm, situated at an altitude of 1,750 meters. Luzmila adheres to strict ripeness criteria during harvest, ensuring only the finest cherries are selected. After picking, the coffee cherries undergo a process of floating and hand-sorting to remove any defects.
"When we first tasted Luzmila’s coffee, we really appreciated that it had some really fun and unique characteristics that we didn't really recognize from this region. What sets Luzmila’s coffee apart is its clean, crisp acidity and bright, zesty lemon and orange flavours that really stood out on the cupping table!
In addition to these distinctive notes, Luzmila’s coffee also carries the classic traits of Colombian coffee: perfect balance, high sweetness, and a soft, lingering aftertaste. We're really excited to share this coffee with you!"
