The story

Finca Tamana is a 57-hectare plantation located in the mountains of Huila, Colombia, between El Pital and La Plata. The farm was acquired by producer Elias Roa in 2011 after it had been abandoned for some time. Today, the farm is managed as a family operation by Elias, his wife Bellanid, and their children.

Challenges

The farm was previously abandoned before its acquisition and subsequent revitalization. Producers in the region often face difficult terrain and unpredictable weather, such as heavy rain clouds that frequently cover the mountains.

Innovations

The family has planted more than 30 cultivars and invested in selective harvesting, stainless-steel fermentation, an eco-mill that reduces washing water, and protected slow drying. The Caturron trial revealed a repeatable herbal, floral, and tropical profile.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
