Editorial illustrationLa Colina
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
La Colina, which translates to 'the hill', was named by the father of current producer Antonio Medina. Antonio is a second-generation farmer who began growing coffee on the land in 1991 after gaining experience working on other farms.
Challenges
The farm faces logistical difficulties due to its remote location, where reaching the property often requires traveling over difficult terrain.
Innovations
The farm has demonstrated versatility by producing multiple processing styles, including washed and natural lots, and cultivating a diverse range of specialty varieties.
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.
