Java that whispers and surprises.

Grown in the lush highlands of Génova, Quindío, our Java variety reflects a journey of balance and transformation. In its washed profile, it is soft, citrusy, and caramel-sweet, subtle and refined. But in the natural process, it bursts into vibrant fruit notes and expressive complexity. A coffee that begins with elegance… and finishes with a vivid signature.

Ten years ago, my family and I made the decision to return to Colombia after living abroad for more than 15 years. Inspired by what we had experienced during our time in Central America, we set out to create a specialty coffee project. My father had always dreamed of owning a coffee farm, and he finally fulfilled that dream: one that also shaped my early connection with coffee cultivation.

Finca Andaluz, located in Génova, Quindío, was chosen after we traveled across Colombia’s coffee-growing regions nine years ago, searching for the ideal conditions to grow, process, and share exceptional coffee varieties with the world.

The Variety: Java

Planted seven years ago, Java has shown remarkable behavior in plant development, productivity, and cup quality. In the washed process, it expresses a soft, delicate profile with citrus acidity and sweet caramel notes. In the natural process, it becomes fruit-forward and far more expressive, revealing a new dimension of complexity.

The region Quindio

The department of Quindío is the smallest of the country's continental territory, with a surface area of 1,845 km2. It stands out in the country for the strong roots of the coffee culture and for its natural wealth, represented by exuberant vegetation and a great diversity of ecosystems.

A couple of facts demonstrate the importance of coffee in this region: all of Quindío's 12 municipalities are coffee producers, and 207 of its 267 villages are coffee-growing. The department is the twelfth largest coffee producer in the country (out of 20), with an estimated annual production of 666,000 60-kilogram bags of green coffee or, in other words, 6 % of the Colombian harvest.

Quindío is one of the departments that make up the Eje Cafetero, which was once abundant in coffee crops before being devastated by a major earthquake in 1999. From then on, its expansion and recognition began to be directed towards tourism for its beautiful landscapes and colonial towns. Today, its fertile land continues to be attractive for coffee and other crops, especially in the mountain range area in the municipalities of: Pijao, Buenavista and Génova where soils rich in organic matter are still preserved.
