Farm level story
Elias Roa is a renowned coffee producer from Huila, Colombia, with farms in the subregions of Pital and Acevedo. As one of the founding members and former President of Asociación Primaveral in Acevedo, he has played a key role in shaping the region’s coffee culture.
Nestled in the heart of the Macizo Colombiano, the Acevedo region boasts breathtaking landscapes. It’s common to see large rain clouds rolling over the mountains, periodically covering the farms in mist.
Coffee is a true family endeavor for Elias. His wife, Bellanid, his daughter, Derlin, and his son-in-law, Diego Campos (Colombian Barista Champion), all contribute to the farm’s operations.
Elias manages two primary farms: Finca Tamana in Pital and Finca Recuerdo in Acevedo. Both are home to a diverse selection of heirloom varieties, including those with African lineage. His processing method involves a dry fermentation of 14-16 hours, followed by multiple washes with fresh water before the coffee is carefully dried on raised beds for optimal quality.
