This exceptional coffee is the result of hard work and dedication by Teresa De Jesus, one of the few female coffee producers in Colombia. She learned everything about coffee from her father, and continues his legacy with her son Linarco to produce outstanding quality coffee.
Linarco Rodriguez is well known in Huila, especially in his hometown Palestina. Coming from a coffee-producing family, he learned the craft early on and is now producing outstanding coffees.
His mother, Teresa de Jesus, inherited their farm in Palestina and has worked alongside Linarco to elevate their coffee quality. They cultivate Tabi, Gesha, Caturra, and Colombia Rosato on their 32-hectare farm, with seven hectares dedicated to coffee. Their commitment to strict cherry selection ensures consistent excellence year after year.
Linarco is deeply devoted to his family and values quality above all else. His dedication is evident in the exceptional profiles he develops, particularly his Bourbon Panela, known for its remarkable sweetness. In addition to this classic, he produces a range of coffees, from heavily fermented varieties like Castillo and Ombligon to more delicate Geshas with minimal fermentation, and innovative co-fermented coffees like his coconut-infused and piña colada-style offerings.
Today, Linarco manages three farms: Betania, Los Cedros, and El Diviso. Each has unique climatic conditions that shape the flavor of the coffee. Los Cedros is known for Pink Bourbon, while El Diviso has just started producing SL28. Meanwhile, Finca Betania continues the family’s tradition of cultivating Mostly Caturra and Tabi.
