This farm is within the department of Quindio, near the city of Pijao. The farm was purchased with the intention of experimenting and finding new methods and approaches to push the boundaries of coffee. Here they grow many exotic cultivars, such as Gesha, Sudan Rume, SL-28, Wush Wush, Laurina, and more. Jardines del Eden is one of the highest altitude farms in the region.

After strict harvesting practices, this coffee was fermented in whole cherry for 24 hours in covered ceramic tanks, prior to being pulped, gently washed, and later placed on raised beds until 10.5% moisture was obtained.

Del Agua is a new coffee producing facility in the far North of Colombia. Del Agua has the goal of minimizing the amount of water utilized in the production of coffee.

Carlos Mario Castro produces coffee with his wife, Yolima Gonzalez, on their seven hectare farm. They grow 20,000 beautiful Castillo trees on five of those hectares. They put a lot of care into their farm, as it is their source of economic security. Carlos and Yolima both work in all aspects of the farm in order to give it the attention it deserves.

There is a wide variety of flora and fauna around their farm, sometimes even howler monkeys! Hearing their striking howl in the mornings makes it easy to keep their environment in mind. They don’t use pesticides and have plenty of shade-giving trees to protect their crops and the animals that they share the land with.

Del Agua is situated in la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in the department Magdalena. La Sierra Nevada is the second highest mountain in the World that borders the ocean and when we visit, we can go directly from the farm down to the cupping lab on the beach.
