Description

Colombia Los Cedros Yellow Honey

Cupping Notes: Honey sweetness, tropical fruits, hints of cherry & caramel.

Variety: Castillo – Colombia

Processing Method: 168-hour fermentation and honey drying

Altitude: 1900 – 2100 Meters


Why Choose This Coffee?

The beans are processed in their natural mucilage, giving them a honey-like texture and color while using less water than traditional washed methods. This eco-friendly process, combined with lactic honey fermentation, produces a vibrant cup with tropical fruit notes, honey sweetness, and a smooth, creamy finish.

Fun fact: The name comes from the sticky mucilage, or “honey,” left on the beans during processing. No bees involved—just natural sweetness from the coffee itself.





Courage and Perseverance in the Coffee Industry

For years, the average age of farmers in Colombia’s coffee industry has been over 50, with many nearing retirement. As this aging community steps back, a critical challenge arises: a lack of younger talent to step in and carry the torch. A new generation of leaders is struggling to emerge.

Juan David Builes is determined to take a step in the right direction. Raised on a cattle farm, he gained firsthand knowledge of farming before acquiring Finca Los Cedros. Juan David blends Colombia’s rich coffee traditions with modern innovations, forging a path toward the future.

Dedicated to preserving Colombia’s coffee legacy while pushing it forward, Juan David is transforming Finca Los Cedros into a hub of creativity. His efforts ensure that Colombian coffee continues to shine as a symbol of excellence for generations to come, bridging the gap between tradition and progress.

Special Farming Practices

Finca Los Cedros, nestled in Antioquia’s lush mountains, is a haven where nature and innovation create exceptional coffee. Peacocks roam freely, fog drifts over the coffee trees, and fruit and plantain trees thrive, enriching the ecosystem.

On the steep slopes, handpicked ripe cherries are collected using a “funnel” system, ensuring workers are able to deliver their cherries with ease. The farm’s Yellow Honey coffee is a standout, processed with the eco-friendly honey method that leaves sweet mucilage on the beans, enhancing natural sweetness while conserving water.

After 168 hours of careful fermentation—96 hours in cherry and 72 in mucilage—the beans develop rich, complex flavours, shaped by the farm’s unique microclimates and altitudes. At Finca Los Cedros, tradition and innovation combine to craft truly distinctive coffees.

About Finca Los Cedros

At Finca Los Cedros, passion and innovation come together in every cup. The story begins with Juan David Builes, a young visionary in Agricultural Engineering, who created Yellow Honey by blending modern techniques with traditional practices. His experiments with fermentation unlock new, complex flavours in every batch.

Alongside him is Octavio, a skilled Q-grader, ensuring that each batch meets the highest quality standards. Having a Q-grader directly working on the farm team is a unique and rare occurrence making this product that much more special. Overseeing the harvest is Don Monch, Juan David’s right-hand man. He ensures only the ripest cherries are picked and manages fair pay for the coffee collectors.

By choosing Finca Los Cedros, you’re savoring coffee crafted with care, born from a shared vision in the heart of Colombia’s coffee region.
