The Story

Produced by Luis Anibal Calderon and exported by Cofinet.

Luis Anibal Calderon is somewhat of a local celebrity among Colombian coffee farmers. And for good reason. His dedication to preserving his father’s legacy and producing high quality coffee in Huila at Finca Villa Betulia is an inspiring story. This tradition is now passing down to Luis’ son, Yeison, who is taking up the mantle of managing the estate alongside his father. On this idyllic farm that sits high up in the mountains at 1550 masl, they nurture over 20 rare and exceptional coffee varieties.

Finca Villa Betulia is one of a handful of farms that cultivates the incredibly rare and recently discovered Catturón coffee variety. It’s a wild mutation of the Caturra variety that has garnered attention from farmers in Colombia for its unique flavor profile. If that’s not enough, the variety offers strong resistance to leaf rust and a high yield. 

Further research is still required to fully understand Catturón’s background and potential, but the flavor profile is clear. In the cup, this Catturón microlot features a kaleidoscope of fruits like  dark cherry but also mint chocolate Ice cream and cinnamon.
