We traveled to Cali, Colombia based on a rumor of Inmaculada after tasting just a single cup of their famed Eugenioides variety. Within Inmaculada’s farms, we discovered the rarest and most exotic coffee varieties we’ve seen in production. In 2010 the Holguin family began their coffee journey in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. They have a long history of producing both palm oil trees and sugar cane in Nariño. They started with 5.12 hectares*, and nine years later they hold 50 hectares that are divided up into four farms, all of which have a unique climate. Inmaculada Coffee Farms is divided up into El Jardin, Las Nubes, Montserrat, and Inmaculada Concepción. Inmaculada’s focus on growing exotic varieties and processing them to highlight their terroir is inspiring. Their goal is to “produce the most extraordinary coffees possible, regardless of risk or costs.” Most of the varieties they grow are incredibly low-yielding and difficult to grow, proving their commitment to their goal. Within the grounds of their Inmaculada Concepcion farm, there is an old Catholic school that has been turned into their dry mill and cupping lab, complete with a Ferris wheel style drying bed on the roof. After cupping in their classroom-converted-to cupping lab, we zeroed in on three varieties that highlight what Inmaculada is accomplishing with all their hard work.
