The Story
Paula and Samuel are life and business partners who share a deep passion for coffee production on their farm, Santa Elena, in Ciudad Bolívar, Antioquia. Located within a biological corridor in southwestern Antioquia, the farm benefits from ideal natural conditions for growing exceptional coffee. Of its 20 hectares, 15.5 are dedicated to coffee cultivation and 4.5 to native forest, supporting local biodiversity. Operating under a “cherry center” model, they also process cherries delivered by neighboring farmers, strengthening community ties and ensuring quality control. Their team uses sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and local producers. Their signature coffee, “Paula 20 Brix,” is named after Paula Concha and highlights the sugar content measurement in the beans. Through meticulous natural processing of whole cherries, they uphold high standards, as this demanding method requires flawless fruit to achieve outstanding results.
