About the Farm:

Finca La María has been producing coffee since 1945. The farm has been passed from one generation to another one throughout the years. It belonged to Gustavo Taborda, Adolfo’s father during a period of 20 years from 1993 to 2013. Gustavo Taborda then sold the farm to his son Adolfo Taborda in 2013. Who moved from Amagá, a village closed by where he had another coffee farm to he village of Loma del Guamo in Titiribí town in Antioquia.
Today the Taborda Cortez family has a plantation of about 12,000 trees and the extended experience and many advantages on the good conditions of the soil have helped Adolfo and hifs family develop an exceptional coffee that deserves to be shown and recognized as such.

Honey Process is a coffee processing method where the coffee skin is removed but then rather than removing the mucilage (pulp) as well, it stays intact during the drying process. The mucilage is sticky, sweet and has a golden color like honey, which is where the name comes from. This process brings out the sweetness of the coffee bean.
