La Cumparsita Coffee Farm: From Caldas to Your Cup
La Cumparsita Coffee Farm
From the mountains of Caldas, Colombia to your cup
The Beginning — Blossoms of Coffee
Nestled in the mountains of Chinchiná, Caldas, at high elevation, La Cumparsita is a family-owned farm with deep coffee roots. Led by agronomist Sebastián Velásquez, the farm carries a legacy of excellence while embracing innovation and careful experimentation.
Cultivating Excellence — Exotic Varieties
In recent years, the focus has been on Gesha and other exotic varietals. Under the Caldas sun, each cherry ripens slowly, developing the natural sweetness and aromatics that define these lots.
The Producer Behind the Vision
At the heart of La Cumparsita is Sebastián — a new generation of coffee producer who blends tradition with cutting-edge agronomy. His goal is simple and ambitious: craft world-class coffees while honoring the authenticity of Colombian coffee culture.
Innovation in Processing
Beyond cultivation, La Cumparsita explores innovative processing: from semi-washed and honey methods to carbonic maceration and fruit fermentations designed to unlock new flavor dimensions while preserving balance and clarity in the cup.
Recognition and Global Impact
La Cumparsita’s lots have earned recognition on the regional stage, reflecting the farm’s dedication to quality, innovation, and the pursuit of exceptional cup profiles.
