Introducing Villa Juanita: A Coffee Oasis

Discover the enchanting world of Villa Juanita, nestled in the heart of Colombia's Magdalena Department. This coffee paradise, known as La Bendición, has been a haven for 11 fruitful years. Situated at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level, this 10-hectare farm boasts 6 hectares of thriving coffee plants.

Under the careful stewardship of coffee grower Orfa Luz Guerra Fonseca, Villa Juanita embraces sustainability as its guiding principle. No chemicals touch these grounds; instead, weeds are manually cleared, ensuring a pristine environment for the flora and fauna that call this farm home.

The coffee journey at Villa Juanita begins with hand-picked cherries. These cherries are pulped in the afternoon, left to ferment for two days, and then washed and carefully dried under the sun's warm embrace on solar marquesinas. The result? Exquisite coffee that captures the essence of this bountiful land.

But Villa Juanita is more than just a farm—it's a vibrant family affair. With her husband Jairo Alexander Fandiño and their three children, Orfa Luz works tirelessly to cultivate the perfect beans. Each family member contributes, from tending the fields and selecting cherries to overseeing the meticulous processing.

Beyond their farm, the Guerra Fonseca family extends a helping hand to the community. They lend their efforts to cleaning the roads and organizing illuminations, creating a harmonious bond between Villa Juanita and its neighbors.

Experience the rich flavors and stories of Villa Juanita, where nature's beauty intertwines with a family's dedication to craft exceptional coffee. Join us on this extraordinary journey.
