Claudia Samboni and Finca Las Nubes
Finca Las Nubes, located in the township of Agua Negra just 15 minutes outside of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, is a partnership between professionals from every part of the coffee supply chain. The partnership includes:
– Claudia Samboni, co-owner of Aromas del Sur, which includes three coffee farms (Finca Monteblanco, Finca El Progreso, and Finca La Loma) and the Aromas del Sur dry mill
– Vicente Mejia, an exporter and trader with Clearpath Coffee
– Ricardo Pereira, Chief Business Development Officer – Purity Coffee
– Mark Trujillo, coffee roaster and owner of The Hub Coffee Co in Reno, Nevada, USA.
By bringing together this varied experience from each step in the process the team plans to focus on quality and sustainability in everything they do throughout production.
The farm was purchased in early 2020 and was already planted with coffee, but needed some attention and care to get the coffee trees into good shape. While part of the focus initially was to get the trees prepared to produce quality coffee, they already had an eye to the future with plans to plant varieties less common to Colombia—varieties like Mokka, and Sudan Rume. Even still, the 27 hectare farm is currently planted with Caturra, Pacamara, Pink Bourbon, and Gesha. Sitting at the top of a mountain overlooking the Laboyos Valley, Las Nubes gets mild temperatures around 18–21° C during the day, with cooler temperatures at 10–12° C at night, and enjoys an unobstructed view of the valley and surrounding mountains.
In the Cup
This coffee is the definition of a crowd pleaser. When it’s hot, the aromatics are sweet and buttery with a nougat-like quality. On the first sip, there are notes of dark chocolate with a pop of lime acidity. As it cools, the sweetness broadens out and takes on a vanilla ice cream quality, ending in a floral orangey note. Overall, this coffee is a beautifully balanced, rich cup which is guaranteed to have something for everyone.
