Origins

Villa Maria is a farm with plantations set high in the mountains. It is located in the Caldas region, through which the massifs of the West Cordillera and Central Cordillera pass. The fertile soil, frequent rains, and cooler temperatures are ideal for coffee trees. As a result, the fruit takes longer to ripen and accumulates much more flavor than if it were grown in the hot lowlands. Around half a million smallholders in Colombia grow coffee trees. Yet the country is the 3rd largest coffee producer in the world.

Coffee trees have been grown by Colombians since the late 18th century, and today the National Federation of Coffee Growers, known for its marketing campaign using the character of fictional farmer Juan Valdez, is dedicated to the production and export of coffee. The image of the farmer and his mules with sacks of coffee on their backs denotes exclusively Colombian coffee production. It highlights the specificities of Colombian coffee and the fact that the soil, altitude, variety, and processing method are factors of its great taste.
