Step into the Secret Garden with the Colombia La Constancia Espresso, a single-origin coffee crafted with care and dedication by Luz Helena Salazar. With over two decades of experience in the coffee industry, Luz Helena’s journey began in Armenia, Quindío, inspired by — and possibly in competition with — her husband, the coffee expert Jairo Arcila. Today, she manages Finca Maracay, an 8-hectare farm known for its high-quality coffee, situated at 1,450 meters above sea level. Luz Helena’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that each coffee cherry is harvested at peak ripeness, fermented for 30 hours underwater, and dried with care, resulting in a truly exceptional coffee.
Drinking Notes
The adventure begins with the subtle yet vibrant aroma and taste of hawthorn, offering a delicate tartness with floral undertones. This light and airy start is quickly followed by a lively burst of orange soda, bringing a zesty, fizzy citrus kick that enlivens the palate. The experience is gracefully completed by the sweetness of light muscovado sugar, with its molasses-tinged richness, adding depth and a satisfying finish. Imagine the sensation of flying a kite through an orange grove, with the nostalgic taste of haw flakes from your grandma's kitchen.
