Astrid Medina

Astrid Medina produces coffee in the Tolima department of Colombia, operating at high altitudes ranging from 1800 to 2000 meters above sea level. This geographic setting provides the cool temperatures and microclimates suited to slow cherry maturation.

The varietal landscape represented in the catalog features a mix of traditional and regional cultivars. Dominant varieties include Caturra, Colombia, and Castillo, alongside specialized plantings of Pink Bourbon and Geisha.

Processing methods across the catalog are focused on the washed process. All recorded lots from this producer utilize washed preparations, emphasizing clarity and clean cup profiles that highlight the underlying fruit and floral characteristics of the harvest.

The catalog footprint for Astrid Medina includes 9 total coffees represented across 4 different roasters, with 3 lots currently in stock. Roasters such as Sey Coffee and Amor Perfecto have featured her coffees. Harvest representations and specific lot offerings reflect ongoing partnerships centered on her farm, Buena Vista.

Recent catalog examples include multiple lots of Buena Vista processed via the washed method, featuring varietal separations of Caturra, Castillo, Colombia, and Pink Bourbon. These lots demonstrate the consistent application of washed processing across diverse varietal components.

Overall, Astrid Medina's work in the catalog is distinguished by a strong focus on washed Caturra and regional Colombian varieties grown at high elevations in Tolima.
