La Colina

La Colina (‘The Hill’) is a plot of land that Antonio Medina inherited from his father, who had named it due to it’s elevation amidst the volcanic geography of Antigua, Guatemala. At first, Tony planted basic grains, corn and beans, but having worked on coffee farms since a young age, it had long been his dream to have a coffee business of his own. The first coffee trees were planted at La Colina in 1991 and Tony has managed to steadily increase production and quality over the years, growing predominantly Caturra and Bourbon while introducing some rare varieties like Pacamara and Gesha. 

This is our first year to work with coffee from La Colina and we are impressed by its vibrant and clean cup profile with notes of red berries and dried fruit and a refined sugar sweetness.
