Tasting Notes

Gunpowder Tea - This coffee is an excellent presentation of unique complexity, with its most prominent note being tea like flavors. Both the light mouthfeel and hints of floral properties are tied into this note as well.

White Grape - Subtle sweetness and juiciness come through in this cup, rendering white grape as a classy note to put.

Apricot - Apricot presents a unique blend of aromatic, sweet, thick, and complex notes, all of which I think clearly coincide with the profile of this coffee.

Finca La Providencia Coffee Production

Huila, Colombia — a region where arid deserts, lush forests, imposing volcanoes, and towering mountains coexist in stunning harmony. Its mild climate, generous rainfall, and nutrient-rich volcanic soil make it the perfect place to grow exceptional coffee.

Just ask our friend Gildardo Perdomo Rodriguez, a talented coffee producer whose farm, Finca La Providencia, sits at 1,650 meters above sea level. This elevation, along with the unique terroir of Huila, creates ideal conditions for cultivating extraordinary coffee with depth and character.

At Finca La Providencia, Gildardo focuses on growing Gesha and Pink Bourbon—two varieties renowned for their complexity and vibrant flavor. His coffees are typically washed, ensuring clarity, brightness, and balance in every cup. Through his commitment to quality and sustainable farming practices, Gildardo has established Finca La Providencia as an outstanding farm in the Huila region.

The first time we hung out with Gildardo Perdomo Rodriguez, he invited us into his home and spent the day smoking meat for us. We walked his farm and discussed how organic practices have enriched his soil and strengthened his trees—some of which now stand unpruned at over 20 feet tall. He’s also been working with other organizations in Colombia to experiment with new varietals, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on his land.

We’re thrilled to bring you his coffee–not just because it tastes incredible (which it does), but because it’s a reflection of his passion, innovation, and the hard work that goes into every step of the process.
