GREEN COFFEE INFORMATION
La Loma farm is located at high altitudes in the Buesaco area of the Nariño region, where the air is fresh and pure. At 1.900-1.930 meters, this 2,4-hectare farm is home to Nevar Jamer Velásquez Inchima and his family.
The story of La Loma began in 2005, when the Velásquez Inchima family acquired the land. However, the farm’s true transformation took place about nine years ago, when Nevar Jamer took over from his parents. With a strong desire to provide a better life for his family, he embarked on a journey of improvements that led him towards specialty coffee production.
He renovated the land and started cultivating a diverse range of varieties, including Gesha, Papayo, Colombia, and Castillo. The farm also has its own nursery, where coffee plants are grown to withstand high altitudes and the region’s unique microclimate. Besides coffee, the farmers grow mandarin and orange trees, which enhance farm biodiversity - fallen leaves, for instance, act as a natural fertilizer for the soil. During harvest season, Nevar Jamer hires up to eight workers to help pick the ripe coffee cherries.
Nevar Jamer collaborates with the Inconexus team, participating in training sessions on soil management, coffee varieties, and processing methods. Looking ahead, his dream is to acquire more land to expand coffee production.
Nariño is Colombia’s southwesternmost coffee-growing region, bordering Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean. In Buesaco, most farms are around 3 hectares in size. Nariño’s proximity to the Equator ensures intense sun exposure during all year, which directly influences the cherry maturation process. Warm air rises from deep canyons at night, acting as a protective blanket for high-altitude coffee plants growing at elevations of up to 2.300 meters.
This unique climate allows coffee plants to passively absorb the sun’s energy both day and night, resulting in abundant flowering, extended cherry maturation periods, smaller yet denser seeds, and intense flavors. These conditions create a coffee with dried fruits, flowers and malt notes, high acidity and a silky body.
