COLOMBIA FINCA LAS CRUCES
A vibrant medium roast with notes of chocolate, grape and toffee sweetness – our Colombian single origin coffee shines in both espresso and filter brewing.
PROFILE AND PARTNERSHIP
Our Colombia Single Origin currently comes from Finca Las Cruces, a family farm in Colombia’s Risaralda region, grown by producer Esnayder Cuartas.
The Cuartas-Alvarez family has farmed this land for more than 70 years, with Esnayder taking over in 2005. Today, Esnayder has one foot in Colombia and one foot in the UK: while Finca Las Cruces remains at the heart of the family’s coffee production, he now lives in London and regularly visits our roastery.
This coffee is a vibrant medium roast with a sweet and refreshing chocolate, grape and toffee flavour profile. It works well across a range of brew methods and is especially popular as a cafetière, stovetop or AeroPress.
We’ve been working with Esnayder since 2021, building a long-standing relationship that helps bring his family’s coffee from Finca Las Cruces to our community.

ABOUT FINCA LAS CRUCES
Finca Las Cruces, a family farm, is located just outside the small town of Quinchia. Quinchia sits in the heart of the coffee triangle area of Colombia (zona cafetera), within the department of Risaralda. The Cuartas-Alvarez family have farmed this land, passing it from generation to generation, for more than 70 years. Esnayder took over the farm in 2005, just before his father passed away.
This small farm comprises 10 hectares, of which only 7.5 hectares are used to cultivate coffee, plantain and other tropical fruits. The remainder of the land is maintained as a natural reserve for water conservation. With plenty of spring water in the estate, one of Sabor's responsibilities is to not only maintain the water flow but to also improve water quality. Dedicating the same amount of land to the coffee as to the native forest helps preserve the natural characteristics of the area.
