Piedra Larga
“Piedra Larga” is a very special farm to us. It is the farm where it all started.
Barbosa
Barbosa, Antioquia, is a charming municipality located in the central region of Colombia. Surrounded by lush mountain landscapes, it is nestled in the majestic Colombian Andes. In addition to its natural beauty, the municipality offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and bird watching, allowing visitors to explore and enjoy its abundant biodiversity.
Fog + Creeks + Altitude = Specialty Coffee
Piedra Larga’s foggy mornings, creeks, and altitude result in a rich soil ideal for specialty coffee growing.
Our Brand's Origin
It also happens to be in a part of Barbosa called “El Hatillo,” which our brand is named after!
From Sugar Mill to Our Sweetest Specialty Coffee
The farm sits at 4,921 ft (1,500 meters) MSL. “Piedra Larga” used to be a sugar mill, and even though it had coffee trees planted around the farm, the main objective wasn’t to produce coffee.
But with land so fertile and the conditions so perfect for specialty coffee, it was almost inevitable that coffee crops would follow.
Native Trees and Fruits
And it’s not just coffee that thrives in “Piedra Larga”; many other native trees such as plantains, star fruit, and oranges flourish alongside.
Pedro and Don Alberto: The Artisans Behind Piedra Larga's Specialty Coffee
The coffee plants grow slowly but perfectly, carefully nourished by the land and cared for by Pedro and Don Alberto.
Growing in Harmony with the Ecosystem
Pedro and Alberto care for the plants using traditional artisanal practices that allow the wildlife to remain unharmed and diverse.
It is not surprising that the specialty coffee produced in “Piedra Larga” is loved by all who try it!
As Sweet As Sugar Cane
With its sweet and smooth tasting notes of brown sugar, caramel, and honey, even those who always add sugar say this coffee is sweet enough already.
