“A coffee with a distinct character. Bright sparkling citric acidity reminiscent of grapefruit and peach is complemented with caramel and toasted almond notes. Its velvety and chocolaty body along with a long refreshing finish makes it an all-day coffee.”
Beneath the shadows of the beautiful Nevado del Huila, lies the small town of Gaitania, home to fifty coffee growers responsible for El Jordan. The influence of this active volcano has given this region volcanic soils and microclimates to grow outstanding coffee. Its fertile lands and mild climate, combined with a strong dedication, produce a unique cup profile. Despite insecurity challenges, due to guerrilla presence in the region for over four decades, these coffee growers have always grown their coffee with pride and care.
Caravela, our logistic partner, started working with El Jordan in 2003 after seeing the excitement to produce high-quality coffee. Since then, they have implemented diverse training projects to work with them and help maximize the potential of coffees. As a consequence, some of its members have been Cup of Excellence finalists several times.

El Aguacate je ime plantaže od koder prihaja prav posebna kava. Locirana je na jugozahodu Kolumbije, v pokrajini Nariño, blizu mesta Sandona. Njen lastnik, Gregorio Arnulfo Botina, je leta 2005 osvojil nagrado za najboljšo kavo Kolumbije (Colombian cup of excellence), to pa gre pripisati prav posebnemu okusu zrn, ki rastejo na vulkanski zemlji ob tropskih rastlinah in sadežih, med katerimi so tudi bananovci.
Je naša najbolj vsestranska kava, saj je odlična kot espresso, filter, ali cold brew. Za to so “krivi” pogoji v katerih rastejo kavovci, med katerimi prevladuje sorta Caturra, v pripravljeni kavi pa lahko okušamo in vonjamo čokolado, suho sadje, češnje, vse to pa zaokroži svilnata tekstura.

Duver Rojas has been involved with coffee since he was seven years old. He is a second generation coffee producer in the Rojas Family. Ruby Trujillo, his wife, also comes from a long line of coffee growers. They inherited Finca Las Delicias and since then, have had a fantastic experience learning and producing coffee. The main objective has always been to continue with their families’ legacies. They always apply traditional practices on the farm, taking care of the soil, water sources, and of the natural environment. More recently they have planted shade trees, to protect the coffee trees, which also provide organic material to the plantation.
Eleven years ago, This family decided to try a new project on the farm, to start producing specialty coffee. They knew that Finca Las Delicias had very high potential to produce these type of coffees and they wanted to learn more, receive trainings, carry out experiment with new processes, to be able to offer better quality. For eleven years, Duver and Ruby have been receiving training from Caravela, learning about producing specialty coffee. They believe the farm is blessed from God, and that is this family’s motivation: to wake up every day to produce some of the best coffee of Gigante, Huila. Duver is also member of the Board of Directors of the cooperative El Desarrollo in Gigante, so when he is not on his farm, he goes and visits other member farms to learn about new farming technologies.
