Villamaria is a historic Colombian municipality nestled in the high-altitude mountains, located right next to the city of Manizales. As a vital part of the UNESCO-recognized Coffee Cultural Landscape, this vibrant town is famous for its deeply rooted farming heritage and generational coffee traditions. The distinct volcanic terroir, combined with a cool mountain climate, provides the ultimate microclimate for cultivating complex, world-class specialty coffees.

The anoxic process uses cool temperatures by utilising cold water poured above plastic sheeting, creating a vacuum seal above the coffee cherries. Cold water reduces the fermentation temperature, and allows the coffee to sit in cherry for an extended period, with no interaction from additional oxygen.

The temperature remains stable and low because the surface water acts as a heat exchanger, with the warmth evaporating off of the top. Then coffee is dried for up to 20 days on raised beds in cherry, pulped and prepared for export.

This coffee is roasted for filter - meaning, a light roast. We roast our seasonal coffees in this manner because we wish for the coffee to shine as it is - for it to display the characteristics that have produced its excellent quality. This kind of roast allows the natural flavours, acids and sugars of the coffee to be in the front, and lets you learn about its origin through taste. As the name says, it's best used in filter coffee methods, such as drip or immersion, so while making an espresso from these is possible, it could prove tricky.

We recommend you enjoy this coffee within 6 months of the roasting date.
Store in a dry and cool place, between +16 and +25 degrees.

This coffee's cycle from farm to your cup has been one of honesty and hard work. We source our coffees from producers that use environmentally-friendly growing practices, roast it so that it's consistently good, package it in materials that either recycle or can be refilled and deliver the coffee with emissions in mind. Sustainability is one of our core values, and the path of our coffee demonstrates that.
