At 1,750 metres above sea level in Tolima, Colombia, Wilfer Portela is crafting something special. Finca Montalvo may be small - just 4 hectares - but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in precision and passion. This lot is the result of careful, sustainable shade-growing, meticulous anaerobic fermentation, and a drying process that preserves every delicate nuance.

This is an exceptionally clean cup, balancing bold innovation with classic Colombian character. A standout coffee for those who appreciate both precision and personality.

Cupping Notes

This coffee opens with a vibrant fragrance, bursting with floral jasmine, spices, and black pepper, softened by notes of lemongrass, honey, and milk chocolate. Hints of orange and roses add a delicate complexity. On the palate, it delivers a rich sweetness, with smooth vanilla and cream creating a velvety texture. The aftertaste is juicy and lingering, enhancing the bright, sweet citrus acidity that gives the cup its lively character. A syrupy body rounds everything out, making for a well-balanced and deeply satisfying experience.
