Don Ferney was the first producer of coffee in the Argelia microregion, no one believed that coffee was going to grow in its climate. He started by planting 4,000 trees and after people saw their growth they started planting. The farm is 9 hectares, with 4.5 planted in coffee. 10 hours of dry fermentation in tanks.

Regional Selectis a new project we are creating in Colombia meant to highlight the unique profiles we have found that are inherent in specific microregions within Colombia. The regions we will begin highlighting to start are Huila, Narino, Cauca and Tolima.
We think that the terroir or soil, sun, weather, and placement on the planet contribute largely to the flavor of these coffees when picked ripe and handled properly. So these coffees are selected by cup and then blended together like a Rhone wine or a local honey that comes from many fields in a 4 mile radius.
