*We are constantly hunting for exceptional “Next Level” coffee flavours and when we find them, we are excited to share it with you. Next Level coffees are difficult to find, therefore, it is our only product that may occasionally be sourced from a non-certified farm. This does not necessarily mean that the coffee is not organically produced, the producers sometimes may not have the means to fund the certification process or may work in other sustainable ways. Either way, we will always work with like-minded producers that share our values of being good to our planet and people as well as share our passion for quality coffee.

Yobani Huertas bought Finca La Primavera in 2007 with the goal of building a family farm that supports his wife, daughters, and himself. Located in Las Pavas, Huila, the farm is at the high altitudes of 1,500 to 1,900 meters above sea level and has ideal conditions for specialty coffee cultivation. Today, Yobani, his wife and his daughters all work on the farm, along with 10 permanent and 60 seasonal workers.
Workers selectively handpick ripe, red cherry and deliver it to the on-farm mill. Cherry is floated to remove underripes and then left in the hopper to ferment for 12 hours. Then, the cherry is pulped and placed in tanks to ferment for 40 hours. Following this, parchment and remaining mucilage are laid on patios to dry. Workers rake parchment to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 8 to 15 days for parchment to dry
