Hacienda Venecia – Juan Pablo Echeverri Londoño

Hacienda Venecia is located in Chinchina, Caldas, in the midst of the Caldenses mountains. The farm belongs to 4th generation coffee producer Juan Pablo Echeverri Londoño.

The farm has 220 hectares, 160 of which are planted with coffee, and one hectare is destined for the cultivation of fine cacao. In its commitment to the environment, Hacienda Venecia has around 50 hectares for conservation, which has been regenerating and is home to more than 250 species of native and migratory birds.

The farm has begun to experiment with microlots, and this coffee has undergone an experimental fermentation.
The cherries are selectively picked and sorted, before being washed and cleaned. The coffee then undergoes a 48 hour in-cherry fermentation. The coffee is then taken to raised African beds and slowly dried at 32ºC until the moisture reaches below 11%.
