About Luz Helena Salazar

Luz Helena grew up in Armenia and has been producing coffee for the last 20 years. She owns Maracay, an 8-hectare farm located at 1450 meters above sea level, in Armenia Quindio. Luz is Carlos and Felipe’s mother, the co-founders of Cofinet and wife of Jairo Arcila.

This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.

This microlot is 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.

Roasted to a light espresso, for maximum juiciness and sweetness.

  • Blends are available year-round with a smooth, balanced taste, while single-origin coffees highlight unique regional flavours and change with the seasons.

  • Our single origin coffees are from single estates, regions or producers. It allows a more defined and specific flavour and characteristic of coffee to shine. 

  • After harvesting, coffee undergoes a fermentation process, which shapes its flavor. 

    • Washed (Wet) Process: The fruit is removed early, and the beans are washed and fermented in tanks for a clean taste.
    • Natural (Dry) Process: Whole cherries dry in the sun for weeks, creating fruity, complex flavors.
    • Other Methods: Hybrid techniques like honey processing and modern yeast fermentation add unique twists.
  • Coffee trees come in many shapes and sizes, with characteristics adapted to the local climate, growing conditions and sometimes selectively bred in labs. These are called Varietals, and they can paint a picture of the coffee before you even taste it!

  • Elevation is the altitude the coffee grew at. Higher doesn’t always mean better, but denser coffees usually come from higher altitudes. Denser coffees have higher concentrations of nutrients, which affects the roasting and brewing process.

  • The taste or tasting notes are what we all came here for. The unique flavour profile of every coffee is exciting. We want our tasting notes to reflect the coffee but also be inclusive and easy to understand. For green coffees, we supply the sourcing partner cupping and tasting notes, but for our roasted coffees we taste them and describe them ourselves, as roasting style has a big impact on the expression of the flavours in the cup.

  • We rely on incredible, responsible and quality driven sourcing partners to broker coffees on our behalf in the market, and we want to honour that relationship by sharing their story and how it aligns with ours.
