Cumbia often invokes the idea of fast rhythms and colorful dances, and this coffee is the perfect representation of both. The fruit you taste from this natural process is melodic, purposeful, and seductive. Going the minimalistic route (as seen by designer Stephen Haas for the 1968 cover of Bongos Trompeta Voces Cuerda), we decided to strip down trumpets and drums and showcase the simplicity that makes them stand out.

Origin Story

Located in Algeciras, Huila, Colombia, El Vergel is a farm unlike most of the area. Initially 100% Geisha, the land inherited by Robinson Rozo has since produced multiple varietals (including Typica, Caturra, and Catimor). Though considered a young producer by many, Robinson was actually born into coffee (coming on three generations and counting). Having worked first hand since youth, he has been able to learn the trade from seed to harvest (and beyond). Taking a particular interest in specialty coffee, he learned how to cup at El Sena (a local trade school in Colombia that his father Libardo also attended years prior). His investment to his crop has garnered the attention of those at The Coffee Quest, where he earned first prize via the Huila Mágico contest in 2020.
