Farmer — Villarazo and Jamaica Smallholders
Region — Villamaria, Caldas, Colombia
Varietals —Colombia and Castillo 

The Villamaria station is uniquely placed for processing coffee in that it is surrounded by high-altitude mountainous growing regions but is itself at lower altitude with drier and more stable weather. This plus its accessibility by road make it ideal for receiving  cherries from around 30 families in the neighbouring Jamaica and Villarazo regions. The station also boasts a Nuna dehydrator. This is a mechanical drier which controls temperature and humidity for either the whole or partial processing. Covered raised beds also exist for drying which means the station has a variety of methods at its disposal and has focused specifically on the methods of honey and natural processes with some exception results.
We find the cup fruit froward and led by a prominent juicy strawberry note but balanced with chocolate flavours and a smooth hazelnut too.
