The family farm La Cabaña is located in the hills with breathtaking views of the surrounding towns and villages. The Ortiz family has been growing coffee since 1965 and has owned this particular farm since 2009. The farm is also home to a family where all members work together - William, his brother Julian, their parents and younger generations such as William's daughter. Thanks to this interconnected collaboration, the farm manages to preserve traditional values and develop modern approaches.
The coffee processing process on the farm begins with careful picking by assistants who select only perfectly ripe cherries. This step achieves an 80% success rate early in the process. After harvesting, the cherries are mechanically peeled and then fermented for 36 hours in a dry anaerobic environment in concrete tanks. After fermentation, the grains are washed three times and then moved to a drying area where they are dried for approximately 15 days. Throughout the process, which takes place on the farm, no additives other than drinking water are added, ensuring the purity and authenticity of the resulting taste.
William Ortiz focuses on modern fermentation processes such as lactic and carbonic fermentations, often using microorganisms (lactobacilli). He is constantly experimenting, looking for new processing options while working to standardize fermentation processes. As a result, it achieves better taste results and expands the possibilities of the family farm. His father, Libardo Ortiz, on the other hand, stays true to the traditional approach, focusing on classic washed coffees with clean flavours that never go out of style.
La Cabaña Farm remains a symbol of family collaboration, where sustainability and tradition are combined with modern experimentation. William's mother is involved in the Asogloriellas association, under whose supervision some of the coffee is processed and sold under her name. Younger generations, such as William's daughter, are heavily involved in cupping and coffee preparation, helping to preserve and develop the family legacy. Through a combination of careful harvesting, controlled fermentations and long drying, La Cabaña Farm achieves exceptional quality and offers authentic flavour profiles that reflect both tradition and innovation.
