Located in the temperate climate and mountainous terrain of southwest Antioquia, La Carmina Finca El Descanso, has the perfect altitude and climate for producing excellent quality coffee as well as playing host to a diversity of native flora and fauna.
First plotted by the Guerra family nearly a century ago, the farm is still in the family and continues to grow the traditional yellow and red Colombia varietal, Caturra and Castillo.
The Guerra family cares deeply about quality, sustainability, and traceability and keeps lots from different elevations separate, to help highlight the high quality of the upper elevation coffees.
After being selectively hand picked, cherries are dried for up to a month before being husked and milled. The result is an explosion of flavour, with subtle dark chocolate underlying prominent, bright, fruity notes.
