Story
Las Pinas is the first of two coffees we will be releasing from Colombia in the coming weeks. Nestled in the mountains of Antioquia, Reinaldo’s 5 hectare farm and located near the township of China Alta. The municipality of Ibagua is known for its musical heritage which regularly holds concerts at the concervative.
In the traditions of the region, Reinaldo combines both an ancestry knowledge of farming with his own modern approach and know-how. With his own updated wet mill and drying beds at the bottom of his farm near his home his farm slopes on two fronts up the mountains.
His farm is slightly larger than his neighbours but Reinaldo has shown skill in his abilities to scale. We are sure you will love his work and be sure to check out the podcast with Farmer, Roaster and Cafe owner Pedro Echavarria of Medellin Colombia.
