Villa Pastora Natural is a single-estate natural coffee from the Huila region. The lot is composed of Tabi, Castillo, and Caturra varieties and is processed as a natural. Tasting notes include strawberry jam, tart raspberry, milk chocolate, and undertones of orange liqueur, producing a rich, full-bodied cup with pronounced sweetness and fruit character.
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.
