Mokaflor Farm – Colombia

Finca La Colmena is a small farm located at an altitude of 1,500 to 1,650 metres in the Huila region of Colombia, one of the country’s most renowned coffee-growing areas. The rich soil and favourable microclimate of this mountainous zone create the ideal conditions for producing a Catuai coffee of extraordinary quality, with a clean, sweet and aromatically complex profile.

The farm is led by Mrs. Blanca, a passionate grower and leading figure in the Huila coffee sector since the age of fifteen. Her vision has transformed Finca La Colmena into a unique ecosystem, where coffee plants and beehives coexist in perfect harmony. During the flowering season, bees play a key role in pollination, helping to improve yields by up to 30% and enriching the aromatic profile of the coffee cherry, which becomes sweeter and more balanced in the final cup.

Mrs. Blanca’s unwavering dedication has brought Finca La Colmena to be named among the Cup of Excellence finalists twice, a recognition that speaks to the excellence of the coffee produced and the commitment to sustainable and responsible farming practices.

The cherries are hand-picked between October and January, at peak ripeness. A washed process follows, ensuring purity and precision in the cup. The coffee is Rainforest Alliance certified, reflecting a deep commitment to ecosystem preservation and biodiversity.

It is in the aromatic profile that Colombia Finca La Colmena reveals its true essence: a silky body, sweet notes of honey and vibrant fruity hints of cherry and strawberry. On the cupping table, following the SCA protocol, this coffee scored 83 points.
