Jairo Lopez - Single Origin - COLOMBIA

Jairo López

Coffee has been part of Jairo López’s life from the very beginning—he grew up in a family of coffee growers and has carried on the tradition with passion. About fifteen years ago, he started producing coffee independently, and ever since, he has been dedicated to refining his craft. His decision to focus on specialty coffee came from a desire to gain recognition for his hard work and to build a more sustainable livelihood.

When Jairo first ventured into specialty coffee, the concept was still relatively new in his region. But true to his nature, he didn’t look sideways at what others were doing—he poured all his energy into constant improvement. He believes his farm’s greatest strength lies in its unique terroir: rich volcanic soils and an ideal altitude that set the stage for producing exceptional coffees.

His farm, Finca Villa Noreña, sits near the Nevado del Tolima, where diverse microclimates create complexity and depth in every cup. This natural advantage, combined with Jairo’s dedication, results in coffees that carry both character and quality.

The Coffee

This coffee is harvested only at peak ripeness. We’d been eager to get our hands on it, knowing that Jairo was working on something unique—a “blend” created from two of his favorite varieties grown on his farm. It brings together Yellow Bourbon and Pink Bourbon, both single-origin lots, united at the source. The outcome is something truly special, and we’ve been loving every cup.

After harvest, the cherries are carefully floated to ensure only the best are selected. The coffee then undergoes a double fermentation: 48 hours in cherry, followed by 48 hours after pulping. Once complete, it’s washed three times, drained, and set to dry in a solar marquee, where the process preserves and enhances its vibrant character.
