About the Coffee
Rossembert Parra, the owner of Finca El Porvenir, is keenly curious about coffee innovation.

On Finca El Porvenir, his 7.5-hectare farm in Oporapa, Huila, he cultivates Caturra, Colombia, and Bourbon varieties. This microlot, sourced in partnership with Lohas Beans, was grown at 1822masl and dried in parabolic driers for 16-20 days.
