Colombia - Embrujo Huntress

Tasting notes: White grape, Rose hips, Yuzu peel

Embrujo is situated in the town of Anserma and was first established back in 1969 when Dr. Octavio Rodriguez obtained the land and planted coffee. He was a local physician, with a passion for creating a productive coffee farm. The coffee thrives thanks to the location, nestled between the Risaralda River and the canyons of the Cauca River and the Opirama River. The flora and fauna are diverse here, providing plenty of natural resources to maintain an excellent coffee farm.

Today, the Embrujo enterprise spans across 215 hectares, and is broken up into three farms: La Palmera, San José, and La Camelia. Coffee production occurs on 170 hectares, with the rest being preserved natural land. The varietals grown on the farm were produced by selecting the seeds from the best trees and carefully growing them in a nursery to be later planted throughout the farms. Pruning is meticulous amongst the three farms, allowing the trees to have an extended lifespan. This specific lot is comprised of the Colombia varietal, which was developed by Cenicafé in the 1980s to prevent the spread of Coffee Leaf Rust.
