Finca and Glamping El Poema was purchased by Sebastian Muñoz with his mother in 2016 after his father passed away. Sebastian has lots of experience in the coffee industry through work with a company called La Meseta, purchaser and exporter of green beans. With that experience Sebastian made some important changes to the farm, looking to sell coffee that had more value added. That’s why he started to produce Natural and Honey coffees. At first the buyers were his past employers and later he decided to venture on his own. Sebastians second passion is tourism. That is how he started the Glamping side of his business. He wanted to give the coffee experience to locals and visitors to the country. He has built seven mini homes that are located inside the coffee plantation. His plan is to build 3 more and then combine coffee and tourism.
I purchased a bag of this while visiting Canmore and, after trying it upon returning home, immediately ordered another kilo bag - it's so delicious! I shared with several friends and they were equally impressed.
We loved this coffee in Banff, brought home a 350 g .bag and then ordered more (950 g.). It is balanced, but still a delight in its juicy-ness. And yet its crispness also came through. Brewed using both a V-60 and Origami pour overs at a 17:1 ratio 425 g water, 25 g ground fine coffee.
We will be getting more and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
