Colombia Huila Finca Villabetulia -Anaerobic Honey (E )

Villabetulia is a 20-hectare coffee farm located 1550 meters above sea level in Acevedo, Colombia. The owner, Luis Anibal Calderon bought the farm 20 years ago from three separate owners to form his Villabetulia. Today Villabetula is a family business. Luis’ wife, sons and brother-in-law all work closely together with him on the farm.

Luis is passionate about producing the best specialty coffee and experimenting with different processing methods and varietals to achieve this. This lot from Villabetulia is anaerobic. For this process they placed the ripe cherry in tanks with no water for 4 days. After that they depulp the cherry and spread it on raised beds for a day. Finally they put the bean on silos to dry for 4-5 days.
