Located in Colombia’s Valle del Cauca, Finca Inmaculada specializes in rare coffee varieties, including Laurina, Geisha, Sudan Rume and Eugenioides. The Holguín family combines high-altitude cultivation with precise fermentation and drying techniques.
Laurina is a naturally low-caffeine, rare Arabica variety. This anaerobic natural process enhances its distinctive character, with tasting notes of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and malt.
Laurina coffee beans typically contain about half the caffeine of regular Arabica coffee beans, which is a significant difference, as caffeine contributes to the bitter and astringent taste in coffee.
The flavor profile of Laurina coffee is often described as smooth and mild, with floral and fruity notes. Due to its lower caffeine content, it is considered a coffee option for those who are sensitive to caffeine or those looking for a milder coffee experience. However, it's worth noting that the low caffeine content also makes Laurina coffee more susceptible to diseases and pests, which can make its cultivation more challenging. As a result, it is a relatively rare and specialty coffee varietal.
