Peñas Blancas Java Mill
Peñas Blancas Java Mill
Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara, two of Colombia’s visionary coffee producers, have joined forces to lead the Peñas Blancas Coffee Processing Center in Acevedo, Huila. This centralized processing hub allows smallholders to access world-class processing techniques and deliver consistently high-quality coffee to an international market.
Java coffee has a long history with roots in Ethiopia and a travel history through Indonesia, Cameroon, and Costa Rica before spreading through Central America. It shares genetic markers with Abysinia, an Ethiopian landrace, but exhibits higher tolerance of coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease. With such a high cup quality potential, Java is renowned for its complex flavor profile with vibrant fruit notes and aromatic floral characteristics.
