From the farm

Villamaría, Caldas

Producer · Agudelo Uribe family — El Refugio

El Refugio is a family-run farm in Palestina and Acevedo, Huila, owned and managed by the Agudelo Uribe family. At 1,700–1,900 metres the site combines cool nights, steep slopes and careful micro-lot selection. Cherries are processed on-farm in a wet mill, given extended fermentation and dried slowly in shaded conditions. The team focuses on Geisha varietals and precise handling from harvest (October–January) through drying to preserve lot clarity and traceability.

Origin notes

High in Villamaría, Caldas, El Refugio is a young Colombian coffee farm shaped by family, landscape and intention. Owned by the Agudelo Uribe family, the project began as a way to reconnect with nature and produce specialty coffee with care and patience. Set within the same mountain range as the Ruiz Volcano, the farm benefits from volcanic soils and a dramatic high-altitude environment. Native trees have been planted throughout the land to create shade, protect the soil and support local birdlife. This washed Geisha is a reflection of that careful beginning: elegant, bright and quietly expressive.

Good to know

Questions before you brew

Whole beans stay fresher for longer because grinding exposes more surface area to oxygen. If you own a burr grinder, always pick beans and grind just before you brew. Choose ground only if you don't have a grinder at home. When you pick ground, tell us the brew method (espresso, filter, cafetière, AeroPress, moka) and we grind El Refugio Geisha — Washed — FSC‑8769 to the exact particle size for that method.
