This coffee comes to us from Villa Nueva, a farm in Nataga, Huila, Colombia, where William Andres Olivera — a second-generation coffee farmer — has spent the past five years building a future in coffee.
After transitioning from town life to farming, William and his wife have dedicated themselves to producing high-quality coffee while prioritising environmental sustainability.
Spanning 9 hectares, with just over 5 hectares dedicated to coffee, Villa Nueva is home to ruste, arusi, and tabi varieties. The farm sits at 1919 metres above sea level, shaded by a range of differing tree types, creating a balanced ecosystem that supports both coffee and biodiversity.
The harvest season runs from February to May, and with a Rainforest Alliance certification, the farm follows practices that protect natural resources and ensure long-term sustainability.
Working closely with Caravela, the farmer has been refining production and farm management, with plans to introduce fruit trees and improve drying infrastructure. Their goal is to create a model of sustainability that can inspire other farmers in the region.
In the cup, this coffee is bright but delicate, aromatic, and layered. Look for soft citrus like lemon verbena or Meyer lemon, honeydew-like sweetness, and hibiscus flower aromatics.
We’re proud to work with Caravela to share this coffee with you for the first time, and to support a producer who is building a more sustainable future for coffee in Huila.
