Olliverio Villafana

This coffee gives a lovely balanced and smooth cup with notes of Chocolate, Lemongrass and Honey.

Oliverio is part of the Arhuaco community, where farming is guided by an understanding of the landscape that has been passed down through generations. Coffee is grown here on small plots that also support the crops used in daily life, and each stage of production reflects a careful relationship with the land rather than a push for scale.

At the start of April, Oliverio visited us here in Dingle. He tasted his coffee, had a pint of guiness, a murphys ice cream and a whiskey from Dick Macks pub. Its very rare that the farmer of the coffee gets to sit inside a coffee shop and drink the coffee he produced.
