Finca Villa Pastora exemplifies the success of a family-run coffee business, passed down through three generations and continuously innovating to stay ahead of the curve in the specialty coffee industry. Today, the farm focuses on natural coffees, which are more expensive and risky to produce than washed coffees, relying on favorable weather conditions, expert knowledge, and meticulous monitoring to prevent overfermentation.

In this single-estate natural coffee, we’re tasting sweet notes of strawberry jam, tart raspberry, milk chocolate, and undertones of orange liqueur, for a rich, full-bodied offering.

1% of every coffee bag sold goes directly to our Impact Fund, supporting ongoing initiatives that empower women farmers, protect the planet, and invest in youth. Learn more here →

The Villa Pastora Natural, sourced from the Huila region of Colombia by Devoción, offers a compelling look at the Tabi varietal. Developed by Cenicafé, the Tabi variety is a cross between Bourbon, Typica, and Timor Hybrid, often selected for its resilience and distinct cup profile. By utilizing a natural process, the producers at Finca Villa Pastora allow the coffee cherry to dry intact, a method that frequently imparts a syrupy body and intensified sweetness to the final cup.

In this specific lot, the interplay between the natural processing and the Tabi varietal manifests in notes of strawberry jam, raspberry, milk chocolate, and orange liqueur. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavy fruit-forward profiles, the specific expression of these flavors can be mapped against a standard flavor wheel to better understand the complexity of the harvest. This coffee serves as a refined example of how regional terroir and careful post-harvest handling define the character of Colombian specialty coffee.
