    Cupping Notes

    Rich chocolate undertones form the foundation of this cup, complemented by the nutty sweetness of roasted almonds. Bright red berry notes add a subtle tartness and vibrancy, creating a balanced and layered flavor profile. Perfect for those who enjoy a harmonious blend of sweetness, nuttiness, and a touch of fruity acidity.

    Roasting Recommendation

    We roasted this on a Kaffelogic using the KL washed profile. To bring out more acidity, we roasted it at level 0.8. We reached first crack at 211.7°C in 6 minutes and 2 seconds and ended the roast 214.7°C in 6 minutes and 31 seconds, giving a short 29 second development time.

    If you want to bring out more of the chocolatey and roasted nut notes, roast with a slightly longer development time. To bring out this side of the coffee, we used the same Kaffelogic profile but at level 1.4 instead We hit first crack at 214.9°C in 6 minutes and 17 seconds and ended the roast at 219.1°C in 7 minutes and 14 seconds, giving a longer 57 second development time.

    Name Johan Vergara
    Year Started 1990
    Location San Isidro in Pitalito, Huila See on a map

    Farm Las Flores, nestled in Cundinamarca, Colombia, was founded in 1990 by Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure with a modest 2 hectares of coffee plants. By 1998, the farm had expanded to 16 hectares, growing alongside the family’s passion for coffee. As the next generation took the reins, Johan Vergara and his siblings, Carlos and Diego, deepened their expertise, introducing specialty varieties like Java, Pink Bourbon, and Castillo, and embracing advanced cultivation techniques.

    Guided by a commitment to quality, the Vergara family integrates innovative processing methods—natural, honey, and washed—to bring out unique flavors that honor their rich terroir. In 2019, Johan’s victory in the Master of Coffee contest marked a turning point, elevating their reputation and fueling their ambition to excel. Today, Las Flores is more than a coffee farm; it’s a hub of sustainable agriculture and knowledge-sharing. The family envisions positioning Las Flores as a leader in the coffee world, driven by a dedication to quality, sustainability, and the forward-thinking spirit that defines their journey.
