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
SEY sourced Nemesio Ramos’s December 2024 Caturra through the Copa de Oro competition. The exact release documents Tarqui’s cold nights and warm days as possible contributors to the area’s distinctive Caturra.
Challenges
The farm faces the broader regional difficulty of sourcing and maintaining traditional coffee varieties like Caturra, which have become increasingly rare as newer cultivars gain popularity in Huila. Additionally, smallholder farmers in the region must navigate the complexities of managing micro-lot production and processing independently.
Innovations
Nemesio Ramos utilizes on-farm processing techniques, including extended fermentation periods and careful drying on raised beds, to enhance the cup quality of his harvests. These practices allow for the production of award-winning micro-lots that highlight the specific characteristics of the Tarqui terroir.
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.
