Colombia Finca Yuri Project Coffee

Flavor profile

Our Colombia Finca Yuri coffee entices with a rich and balanced flavor profile. The main notes are nutty, supported by a delicate hint of honey and malt. A light orange note provides a fresh acidity that perfectly balances the sweet and sour qualities. This diverse range of aromas makes this coffee a special treat that will delight every coffee lover.

Origin & Cultivation

Finca Yuri coffee from Colombia comes from the renowned Finca Yuri, a small family farm in Colombia. This region is known for its ideal climatic conditions, perfectly suited for coffee cultivation. The farm is nestled amidst lush vegetation and offers optimal conditions for the growth of high-quality coffee plants.

Yuri, the owner of the finca, is a former farm worker at El Encanto. Here, we support Yuri and her small family (three daughters: Sara, Anna Maria, and Arda) with a fixed monthly income and a purchase guarantee. Together with Tierra de Café, we have also purchased new drying facilities, fermentation tanks, and a pulper. Previously, it was very difficult for her to make ends meet.

Since 2016, after an accident, Yuri has only been able to work on the farm to a limited extent. Despite her limitations, she manages the farm (three hectares) and, if you're not careful, continues to pick coffee despite her illness. Normally, Juan's pickers, who come over from Hacienda El Encanto, do that. So everyone helps each other out wherever they can.

Sustainability & Quality

Sustainability is paramount at Finca Yuri. Cultivation takes place without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Instead, natural fertilizers and traditional farming methods are used to protect the environment and promote biodiversity. This sustainable approach helps ensure the quality of the coffee while simultaneously supporting the farmers' livelihoods.

Harvest & Processing

The Colombian Finca Yuri coffee is harvested by hand, ensuring that only the ripest cherries are picked. This guarantees the high quality and consistency of the beans. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are carefully washed and sun-dried to preserve their natural aromas. This process significantly contributes to developing the coffee's rich and balanced flavor profile.

The coffee is of superb quality, and we are delighted to be able to offer it. Especially after upgrading our infrastructure (depulper, fermentation tank, drying system), we noticed a real leap in quality. The coffee can be processed faster and fresher, and it dries more quickly and consistently. This simply makes it better.

Philosophy & Commitment

Finca Yuri's philosophy is based on respect for nature and the people who work in it. Through fair trade practices and social responsibility, the farm contributes to improving the quality of life for the local community. This commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in every step of production, from cultivation to harvesting and processing.

The Yuri project is a great example of what can be achieved together. It wouldn't be possible without Yuri and Juan's dedication on the ground and without our customers who support the project by purchasing coffee from us.
