Hidden in the mountain ranges of the Andes, at an altitude of about 1.450 m above sea level, lies the Finca La Mejorana. The family-run coffee farm is led by Don Carlos, grandson of its founder Don Antonio. Dedication, experience and the secrets of high-quality coffee farming and harvesting have been passed on for four generations in the López family.
Surrounded by a biodiverse ecosystem of banana plants, ground cover,
fruit and coffee nut trees grow the highland coffee beans of this Arabica.
The polyculture offers protection from strong sun, thus providing the
plantation with just the right amount of light while helping to preserve
the volcanic soil from erosion.
Tropical climate, sufficient sunshine and volcanic soil rich in minerals are
the ingredients for the aromatic flavor of our specialty coffee.
The Supremo is picked by hand. This is the finest method of harvesting
coffee, where only ripe coffee cherries (in our case with a raw bean size of over 6,75 mm)
are selected and carefully picked from the coffee plants. This ensures the
highest quality and protects the shrub of the coffee plant from
mechanical damage.
The ripe cherries are then fermented for about 15 hours, thoroughly
washed and cleaned in special water tanks and, finally, spread out on a
large concrete surface to be dried in the sun for 36 - 72 hours depending
on the weather.
The final step of becoming the high-quality specialty coffee Colombia Supremo by bubbleplastic™, is a slow and gentle roast. Temperatures of approx. 180° C and a roasting time of about 20 minutes ensure that the roast does not burn and the coffee doesn’t develop any unwanted bitter substances. Instead, the coffee loses stomach-aggressive acids and develops its signatures taste.
