La Llanada

Oscar Oma is a fourth generation coffee producer, but spent many years as a veterinary technician before returning to his family farm La Llanada, near San Agustín in Huila. The farm lies on a steep slope, with plots from 1700 masl all the way to 2200 masl, too high to grow coffee traditionally. At these higher reaches of the farm, the native forest has been allowed to remain, while fruit trees are planted among the coffee, aiding in biodiversity and shade. The Sidra varietal grows well in the high altitude conditions of Huila, often resulting in cups with striking body and sweetness, alongside complex fruit notes. This particular lot has a character shaped by Oscar’s approach to processing. Following the wave that has crossed Colombia in recent years, especially in Huila, Oscar began to experiment with fermentation and processing.
