Introducing a new addition to our Microlot lineup from Inmaculada coffee farms, Colombia. We’ve been sourcing coffees from Inmaculada for several years, The Holguin family being extremely well known and renowned for their ability to grow and process very rare and unique varietals such as Eugenoides and Sudan Rume.

For over 90 years, the Holguin family have been involved in agricultural sector in Colombia. Their approach in this sector has always been centred around appreciating the richness and generosity of the natural environment around them. They take great care when growing coffee on their land, ensuring that biodiversity is encouraged and protected, whilst also ensuring that they are producing and processing coffees of the highest quality and standard.

In 2010, the family embarked on a larger project and dream of planting coffee trees and repurposing land that was originally fated to be home to pasture and brush. Since implementing their dreams of coffee production, the family have invested time and resources into becoming one of the most well-known and
celebrated producers in Colombia- with much success arising from their diversification in growing and processing exciting varieties and unusual species.

This Striped Bourbon is one of many examples from the last several years that speaks to Inmaculada’s standards of excellence and their dedication to ensuring the continued success of all Colombian coffee producers. Their ‘Fellow’s Farms’ program, created in 2022, aims to assist traditional coffee farmers who face challenges from market prices and climate change. As a corporate responsibility policy, Inmaculada created the fellow’s farms program by improving their production and harvesting practices and increasing their income. The program also aims to showcase the farmers’ work to global markets with traceability and international high standards. Inmaculada began buying small batches of coffee cherries from farmers facing climate change difficulties in the Cauca region. The program pays a bonus for high-quality cherries and supports a group of farmers in the Cauca department with around 60 hectares of Colombian common varieties grown using an agroforestry approach.
