More about this microlot
This expressive microlot comes from Inmaculada, a family-owned farm in Colombia known for its commitment to sustainability, innovation and biodiversity. This coffee forms part of the Inmaculada Fellows Project, with fresh cherries sourced from an allied farm in Huila and transported overnight to Inmaculada in Pichindé, where all post-harvest processing is carefully managed to preserve exceptional quality.
The coffee is made from the highly sought-after Bourbon Papayo varietal, named for its distinctive papaya-shaped cherries. Each lot is handpicked and processed in small volumes to highlight the elegance and complexity of the varietal.
Processed using the natural anaerobic method, carefully selected cherries are fermented without oxygen before being slowly dried. This approach creates depth, sweetness and expressive flavour.
In the cup, expect a sweet and complex profile with notes of mango, strawberry and toffee, supported by tropical fruit character and a creamy, lactic mouthfeel.
We are the home of fresh coffee. When you order online, your coffee is roasted fresh to order, especially for you. Plus, it’s specialty grade and traded ethically through Union Direct Trade.

Finca Inmaculada
Colombia
In 2010 the Holguin family decided to create “Inmaculada Coffee Farms” in the small town of Pichinde (in the Andes Mountains). Inmaculada means Immaculate, and that's what the farm is - perfect!
Finca Inmaculada is surrounded by the Farallones National Park. Nature, altitude, climate, and lots of work has turned the farm into the perfect environment for planting exotic coffee varieties. At an altitude of 1700 and 2000 m.a.s.l. there are 34 hectares of coffee and 11 hectares of forest.
In between the coffee there is a diverse cover of plants like: guamo, acacias, lemos, guabos, citrobella, and a legume shrub called tephrosia, making this a natural habitat and provides perfect shade for producing the most delicious exotic coffee beans. The shade trees provide organic material to keep the soil healthy, and the fruits favoured by birds. This management system, is often referred to as agroforestry: the interaction of agriculture and trees, including the agricultural use of trees.
The farm is designed in such a way that exotic coffee varieties grow very well (what Inmaculada specialises in). Only few farms in the world grow eugenioides, geisha, laurina and rume sudan. The quality is excellent, but yields are low and the plantations require meticulous attention to detail.
