About this Coffee

From the perspective of Café Uba:

Today, the acquired experience, combined with the good environmental conditions of our crops, has allowed us to win various quality awards for coffee both nationally and internationally, also winning in different barista championships around the world. Café Uba has three coffee farms located in the Risaralda farm in Colombia, totaling more than 200 hectares cultivated with coffee, with around one million coffee plants and more than 20 different coffee varieties.

The Riviera, Milán, and Buenos Aires farms are located in the municipalities of Pereira and Santa Rosa de Cabal, in the Risaralda farm in the region of the Coffee Cultural Landscape in the spur of the central Andes mountain range with high influence from the Santa Isabel and Ruiz snow-capped mountains. Due to this, along with the mountainous terrain and petrographic and climatic variability, these soils have not completed their pedogenetic development, meaning they are young soils. According to Soil Taxonomy, they belong to the orders Entisols, Inceptisols, and Andisols.

Our young soils, rich in organic matter, combined with the specific environment of this area, a few hours of light due to the high presence of clouds extending the fruit maturation period, and the wide thermal range, where daytime temperatures can reach up to 30 degrees Celsius and drop to 15 degrees Celsius at night, allow our coffee to develop complex and unique flavours. The Riviera farm is located at an altitude of 1,700 metres above sea level, the Milán farm at 1,400 metres above sea level, and the Buenos Aires farm at 1,500 metres above sea level.
