Description
Elias Roa is a legendary producer in the Acevedo region of Huila Colombia. Acevedo is a truly stunning landscape on the edge of the Amazon. It is typical to see large rainclouds rolling in over the mountains, covering the farm for periods of the day. Elias has planted many different heirloom varieties, including some with African lineage on his farm. Finca Tamana is a family affair. His wife Bellanid, his son Diego Campos (Colombian Barista Champion), and his daughter Derlin are all involved in coffee production here. Elias has two primary farms, Finca Tamana and Finca Recuerdo. On both farms Elias utilizes a dry fermentation for roughly 14-16 hours, followed by several washes with fresh water. The coffee is then transferred to raised beds for slow, meticulous drying.
The cup has chocolate, spices, and oolong tea flavors with tart citric acidity and delicate fruit-like sweetness
