More about this coffee

Finca Monteblanco is located on the slopes of Huila, Colombia, at 1,730 metres above sea level. The farm is run by Rodrigo Sánchez Valencia, a third-generation coffee farmer. Since 2002, he, his wife Claudia Samboni, and their team have focused on developing unique microlots and improving quality year after year.

Monteblanco has become particularly well known for its experimental approach to coffee processing. The rare variety Caturra Púrpura is cultivated here, and through innovative methods such as co-fermentation, Rodrigo and his team are able to showcase entirely new flavour dimensions.

Beyond their passion for flavour, the farm places great emphasis on sustainability and long-term quality. By carefully monitoring harvest cycles, adapting to climate change, and using modern processing facilities such as Aromas del Sur in Pitalito, Monteblanco delivers coffees that both surprise and inspire.

The result? An unforgettable specialty coffee that feels more like tropical sorbet than traditional coffee – a true experience for curious coffee lovers.

What does co-fermented mean?

Co-fermentation is a relatively new and innovative method in coffee processing. Instead of allowing the coffee cherries to ferment solely with their natural yeasts and bacteria, other natural ingredients – such as fruits, spices, or herbs – are added during fermentation.

This differs from infusion, where flavours are added only after the coffee has been processed or roasted. With co-fermentation, the flavours are integrated directly into the fermentation process, creating a deeper and more harmonious flavour profile.

The result is a cup that often feels more like a flavour explosion than “regular” coffee – with tropical fruit notes, floral hints, or spicy undertones.
