Bibiana Mena and her husband Diego López have farmed La Cumbre (The Summit) since 2010. Diego is an agronomist by profession who grew up learning coffee from his aunt and developed his knowledge of coffee production during his time working with the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia. La Cumbre is the second farm that they bought, and it was bought in instalments, lot by lot, until they had approximately 50 hectares. The farm is a combination of five sections: Cidral, La Cumbre, Casa Vieja, Montecillo and Loma Verde. Of the 50 hectares, 20 hectares are planted with around 80,000 coffee plants. In 2017, they built a small cable car on a zip line to help move coffee cherry from the steepest and most remote parts of the farm. The cable car also transports breakfast and lunch down to the picking teams at the lower areas of the farm. Bibiana, Diego, and their daughter Isabella have worked hard over the years, and these efforts have been recognised through several coffee competition wins.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
