La Loma
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
Finca La Loma in Antioquia was purchased by Alfonso Guerra in 2005 to expand his existing coffee business, which began with the neighboring Finca Las Mercedes in the 1960s. The farm is currently managed by fifth-generation producer Juan Carlos Guerra alongside his father, Eduardo Guerra. Another farm named La Loma, located in Huila, is operated by Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia and Claudia Samboni.
Challenges
Farms in the region face environmental pressures, such as the proximity to forest reserves, and the necessity of managing complex terrain and temperate climates to maintain coffee quality.
Innovations
The farm utilizes advanced processing techniques including anaerobic fermentation and mossto lactic methods, and maintains an on-site quality control laboratory for sample roasting and evaluation.
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.
Research sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
