Origin and Coffee Character

Huila is one of Colombia’s most respected specialty coffee regions, known for producing expressive Arabica coffees with sweetness, structure and bright fruit character. The high altitude of 1,800 masl, combined with the sandy soil of Finca La Esperanza, creates ideal conditions for a clean and elegant specialty coffee. Mare Terra lists the farm size as 4.25 hectares, with manual selective picking used for this lot.

Colombia Propus AMA is produced by Hertson Bernal, owner of Finca La Esperanza since 2006. His story is closely connected to his family and the transformation of the farm into a specialty coffee project. After acquiring La Esperanza, Hertson renovated the farm, planted varieties such as Caturra, Castillo, Colombia and Cenicafé, and continued improving the processing infrastructure and quality of the coffee.

The Anaerobic Honey process gives this coffee a sweet and fruit-forward profile. During processing, the cherries are sorted by ripeness, fermented anaerobically in cherry, pulped and then dried outdoors. This method helps develop a layered cup with citrus brightness, caramel sweetness and a soft lactic texture.

Why Choose This Coffee?
Colombia Propus AMA is an excellent choice for coffee lovers looking for a bright, fruity and sweet Colombian specialty coffee. Its notes of tangerine, light brown caramel and yogurt create a clean and elegant cup with medium acidity and creamy balance.

This coffee is especially suitable for:

• Filter brewing with a clean fruity profile
• Espresso with citrus sweetness and creamy texture
• Moka for a rounder, caramel-forward cup
• Customers looking for Colombian specialty coffee from Huila
• Coffee lovers who enjoy tangerine, caramel and lactic sweetness in coffee
