Belancan Yeast Honey, from Kintamani, Bali
The Belancan Yeast Honey lot comes from Belancan Village, Kintamani, Bali, Indonesia, and is produced by Kanggo
Finca La Cumbre is located in Teruel, Huila, Colombia, and managed by Hector Hernandez, a 44-year-old, first-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 7.5 hectares of land and sits at an elevation of 1,850 m.a.s.l, with around 23,000 coffee trees in production of the Colombia, Castillo, and Geisha varieties.
Hector starts his lot by carefully handpicking the ripest of cherries and removing all floaters, leaving the cherries in the hopper overnight to de-pulp the next morning. The wet parchment is then placed in GrainPro bags to ferment for 48 hours, washed with low water and drained. For the drying stage, Hector has developed his own method: He first lays the coffee to dry in a mechanical silo at a temperature of 20° – 30° C, for 24 hours, after which he stabilizes the parchment in sealed GrainPro bags for one whole week. The parchment is then laid in the silo for a final drying of 8 hours, reaching 10% humidity.
More about Hector
Hector used to be a cattle rancher in Caquetá, Colombia – far from Huila and from coffee growing. It was his own determination that led him to pursue a better future, which he found in Huila and in coffee.
That is how in 2011 he bought Finca La Cumbre and started growing his first lots of commercial coffee. But it wasn´t until 2021 when he started hearing about a special coffee variety called “Geisha”, and decided to buy some seeds for him.
After much trial an error, and investing in better processing and drying infrastructure, Hector made Finca La Cumbre a hub of specialty micro-lots in the region.
We started working with Hector and Finca La Cumbre in 2024, and we are very thrilled in building this relationship!
