About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee comes from Huila, Colombia, grown by producer Jonatan Delgado at 1,750 meters above sea level. The varietal is Bourbon Sidra, a 100% landrace variety originally discovered in Ecuador that is gaining recognition in specialty coffee for its particular sweetness and complexity. The coffee undergoes a natural process with a 48-hour oxidation period, followed by 50-hour anaerobic fermentation with wine yeasts at controlled temperature of 38ºC, thermal shock treatment, and drying in covered patios. The 2024 harvest features fruity and floral notes with tasting notes of strawberry, blackberry, vanilla, and hibiscus. Medium-bodied and silky in character.

Hola Coffee

Pablo Caballero and Nolo Botana had already built a track record in coffee when they launched Hola in 2016. The pair poured their accumulated experience into an operation built around quality, accessibility, and inclusivity. Coffee is roasted daily in small batches at the Sepulveda roastery in Madrid, ensuring beans are never more than a few days old at the point of sale. Their Lagasca location earned the number 12 spot on The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2025. Hola also runs an academy offering both its own certification and internationally recognized SCA credentials, alongside a podcast that has become a key part of the project. Seasonal coffees rotate through washed, natural, and experimental processes, producing a range from chocolatey depth to floral brightness.
