Colombia Wbeimar Lasso SL-28

Terraza is the name for the farm owned and managed by Juliana Guevara and Wbeimar Lasso, the duo behind the processor group Terra Coffee. The farm is very passionately run. Finca La Terraza resembles countless farms in this part of Colombia, being only a few hectares in size and in a very specific microclimate that encourages coffee trees to fruit nearly the full calendar year—requiring constant monitoring and harvesting in small quantities.

The SL-28 cultivar doesn’t need much of an introduction. It’s rarely grown anywhere in Latin America except on farms like La Terraza, but it’s been the backbone of Kenya’s coffee industry for almost 100 years, and it’s very well-understood in its fully washed form. Juliana and Weimar of Finca La Terraza have a small plot of it, which recently arrived tasting incredibly good.
