Producer Profile
Elias is a longtime coffee producer, originally from Acevedo, Huila. While he still maintains a few farms in his home region, Tamana in El Pital has become the crown jewel of his operations. At Tamana, Elias has honed his craft, implementing more precise processing techniques and better drying methods. He now cultivates a wide range of coffee varieties, including some older stock and African cultivars. Elias runs the farm alongside his wife Bellanid, daughter Derlin, and son-in-law Diego Campos, who all help manage Tamana as well as Elias' other plots of land in La Plata. This year we purchased two lots from Elias—this Caturron and a Pink Bourbon—after our heard roaster Giuliano cupped through some of Elias' offerings on the farm in December.
Brewing Elias Roa's Caturron
Recommended Use: FILTER
Where to Grind: Start at a medium-fine setting within our recommended grind range*
*Refer to our Grind & Brew Guide for recipes and grind setting ranges tailored to specific grinders and brewers.
Huila
Of the many growing regions in Colombia, the mountainous department of Huila in the south west of the country grows the most coffee. Huila enjoys a wide diversity of micro-climates, temperatures, altitudes and coffee varieties. In fact, coffee is grown in 35 of Huila's 37 municipalities. All of this means that the coffee coming out of this region is as diverse as the variables that influence its production.
Caturron
IRecent genetic testing by Tim Wendelboe has suggested that Caturron is hybrid of a Timor hybrid and either Caturra or Bourbon. It is resitant to coffee leaf rust and has a distinctive shape and flavour profile.
