Gomez Mora Farm "Café la Mina"
Sevilla, Valle, Colombia
THE PRODUCT
The Gomez Mora family have dedicated their lives for four generations to cultivate the best coffee beans including different varieties such as Caturra, Supremo Colombia, Geisha and Castillo.
The coffee is grown in a magical land surrounded by the mountains of Sevilla, 1450 meters above sea level and volcanic soils which results in the recognizable smoothness of Colombian coffee with milk chocolate, orange, almond and honey notes.
THE PROCESS
The process starts with an experienced group of country women "Chapoleras", always smiling with colorful dresses, hand-picking each perfectly ripe cherry as traditional Sevillan lyrics are sung. Countrymen weed, fertilize the fields and prune coffee trees, with no tools but their own hands. Collectors carry their wicker baskets full of red coffee grains, coming down from the Sevilla hills under the warm sunshine that are then warehoused and washed with spring water.
Then, the coffee grains are exposed under the generous Sevillan sun until the dry process is perfect. Once the coffee grain reaches what is called "café pergamino" stage, it’s threshed, taking off the yellow husk from the grain.
After this, the coffee grain becomes what is known as "Green Coffee" that is then carefully roasted in small batches to reach a balanced profile with rich, bright and complex flavors.
