Sourcing & Processing

John Samboni on his farm Santa Barbara in Algeciras, Colombia

Santa Barbara is John Samboni's 32 hectare specialty coffee farm located over 2000 masl in Algeciras, Colombia. For the past 5 years, John has been experimenting with different types of processing methods with a recent focus on fermentation.


This unique anaerobic coffee goes through a special process. After being picked, the ripe cherries are put in sealed tanks with water for five days to ferment without oxygen. This produces distinct acids that give the coffee an exotic flavor. After the water is drained, the coffee is spread on raised beds and patios to dry for 20 to 30 days.
