Juan Saldarriaga manages 2 farms, La Claudina and El Encanto. La Claudina spans around 60 hectares, with around 18 dedicated to growing coffee. The rest is preserved as natural forest. He took on the farms in 2012, and set to work planting a diverse range of cultivars to ascertain which varietals flourish on his land. His willingness to adapt and improve is always at the heart of his work.
TLa Claudina is located at 1400-1800 masl in the steep hills of Antioquia. Cherries are harvested by hand, and trees are stripped after a single harvest, sacrificing quantity to ensure quality going forward. The cherries designated for natural processing undergo meticulous hand sorting before being floated for density and fermented for 48 hours. Drying takes between 20 and 30 days in ‘cold driers’, at 25-30 degrees celsius.
We’ve been lucky enough to work with Juan since 2017 - his coffees are always so balanced and sweet.
