Piedra Grande Farm – A Legacy of Passion and Precision

Nestled in Huila, Colombia, Piedra Grande Farm spans two hectares, its name derived from a massive stone embedded in the land.

Martha inherited the farm 12 years ago, continuing a family tradition of coffee farming that spans generations. For her, coffee is not just a crop—it’s her essence. As a single mother, she has supported her family by cultivating high-quality coffee beans, earning a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship.

She initially grew Castillo, but eight years ago, she transitioned to the Geisha variety, refining her approach over time. Her meticulous care and commitment to excellence have positioned her as a producer with an extraordinary talent for extracting unique flavors from her coffee trees.

This coffee is truly unique, featuring a Geisha variety that has undergone anaerobic fermentation with fruit juice from Pink Bourbon cherries. The result is remarkable, whether as a one-time success or a process that can be replicated—only time will tell!

However, Martha Cecilia Rodriguez, the owner of the 2-hectare Piedra Grande farm in the Huila region, is determined: "We will continue to innovate and explore new fermentation processes and protocols to achieve magnificent and unique flavors."

Piedra Grande Farm – A Refined Fermentation Process

Martha begins by fermenting Geisha cherries to soften them and extract juice from the pulp. Once pressed, the cherries undergo an aerobic fermentation for 12 hours.

After this brief drying period, the coffee enters a closed-container anaerobic fermentation for 60 hours, infused with juice extracted from Pink Bourbon cherries.

Finally, the coffee is washed and dried for approximately two weeks, ensuring the process:

• Preserves the Geisha profile

• Enhances fruity notes

• Boosts roundness and sweetness
