About This Coffee

This coffee is from Oscar Restrepo's Finca La Divisa in Apia, Risaralda, Colombia, grown at 1,800 meters altitude. It features the Castillo variety processed using a Red Honey method. The cherries are placed in containers for 3 days to induce fermentation, then depulped and placed back in containers with mosto (leftover water and juices) for another 3 days before drying. The seed with parchment is placed in hermetic bags for 30 days to stabilize and develop flavors. The coffee is juicy, fruity, smooth, and sweet.

La Clara Coffee Roasters

Three Colombians living in Sweden wanted to reconnect with home, and coffee was the way back. La Clara operates from Stallarholmen, a small community in Sodermanland County, roasting exclusively Colombian beans brought directly from farm to roastery. One of their primary sources is Oscar Restrepo's Finca La Divisa in the Apia and Risaralda region, growing the Castillo variety at 1,800 meters and processing it as red honey. The range demonstrates how different processing methods, natural, honey, and washed, transform the same variety from the same farm into distinctly different cups. La Clara opens only on Sundays, making it the sole specialty coffee experience in the area. The operation is a one person company with just over a thousand Instagram followers, but the mission is personal and precise: Colombian heart in Swedish cups.
