About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by Oscar Restrepo at Finca La Divisa in the Apia region of Risaralda, Colombia, grown at 1,800 meters altitude. It is a washed coffee made from Castillo variety beans. The coffee undergoes a meticulous process where cherries are rested for 24 hours before depulping, then fermented in oxygen-free containers for 18 hours, washed, and dried. After drying, the beans are stored in hermetic bags for 30 days to stabilize and develop flavors. The cupping notes include vanilla, almonds, caramel, and mandarin.

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.
