Colombia Don Victor

Through our partnership with Campesino Specialty Coffee, we are pleased to present this year’s newest crop from Don Victor. He, his wife, daughter, and sweet pup Boogey run the day-to-day activities on the farm.

Typically, coffee plants thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. Here, overnight temperatures can be much lower and daytime temperatures much higher. Oftentimes, these temperature swings can span 50 – 60 degrees in a day, so only the most robust, sturdy crops can survive. Don Victor selected the hardiest varieties to cultivate: Caturra, Dos Mil, and Castillo. These hearty plants with virile rootstocks are giving us some beautiful notes in this washed coffee: papaya Hi-Chew, creamy milk chocolate, and an almond pith finish.
