This coffee is from La Libia farm in Timaná, Huila, Colombia, produced by Fidelia Rojas at 1,600 meters altitude. The varieties are F6 and Caturra. The coffee offers bright berry acidity with cupping notes of panela (raw cane sugar), red berries, and vanilla for a vibrant, balanced cup. Fidelia Rojas is a lifelong farmer from a long line of Colombian coffee growers who focuses on producing exceptional coffees and supporting her community through initiatives like building a large drying facility for local farmers.
Founded in 2006 by Colombian-born Steven Sutton, who returned to his homeland after years abroad to source coffee in regions others wouldn't dare venture, Devoción has revolutionized freshness in specialty coffee by establishing their own network of over 500 farmers across Colombia. The company began in Colombia in 2006 and implemented—believed to be one of the first—a network that would go into all zones in Colombia, doesn't matter if it was a safe zone or a rough zone, dry-milling at their Bogotá facility and FedExing beans to their Brooklyn roastery, achieving an unprecedented farm-to-cup timeline of just 10 days versus the industry's 6-12 months.
