Holguin Family

The Holguin Family coffee enterprise operates across the regions of Cauca and Valle del Cauca in Colombia, cultivating crops within a high-altitude band ranging from 1700 to 2000 meters. This geographic positioning provides the cool temperatures and climate conditions necessary for slow cherry maturation. The varietal landscape in the catalog includes eugenioides, geisha, and other cultivars such as Sudan Rume. This selection highlights an emphasis on rare and distinct genetic varieties rather than solely conventional commercial cultivars. Processing methods for their lots lean toward anaerobic natural and traditional natural treatments. These techniques shape the cup profiles through controlled fermentation environments and dried-in-the-fruit methods. The catalog footprint for the Holguin Family includes three coffees featured by three different roasters, specifically Kiss the Hippo Coffee, Rogue Wave Coffee, and Onyx Coffee Lab. The average Cherrybook Index across their indexed lots is 70.8. Recent catalog entries illustrate their range of offerings. These include a Colombia Inmaculada Eugenioides processed via anaerobic natural for Kiss the Hippo Coffee, a Colombia Inmaculada Geisha Fellows prepared as a natural for Rogue Wave Coffee, and a Colombia Inmaculada Sudan Rume utilizing an anaerobic natural method for Onyx Coffee Lab. Overall, the work of the Holguin Family in the catalog is defined by a focus on rare varietals combined with specialized fermentation processes across multiple roaster offerings.
