Growing coffee at altitudes above 4,000 feet results in a richer and sweeter cup of
coffee. This is because at higher altitudes the coffee bean takes longer to develop, and because it takes longer the resulting bean is much denser and less porous than beans developed at low altitudes.
Santa Barbara is our main estate. It is comprised of 350 hectares (860 acres) and two wet mills. It enjoys a micro climate generated by a mixture of high altitude with warm breezes that climb up the mountain from the Cauca river valley at the bottom of the ridge. This region also benefits from fertile soils, which are rich in volcanic ash. Its altitude goes from 4,300 to 6,300 feet, with an average of 5,100.

Whether you like your coffee during the day or night, Colombian Coffee is truly the best choice.
