Finca Tamana, a farm and project that has inspired many among the scene. Tim Wendelboe who has met Elias Roa back in 2007 on his search for good quality coffees from Colombia. Back then the quality hasn't met the standards Tim was on the look for and decided to work with another farm instead. Yet, they have kept the contact and together started the Finca Tamana project where Tim has brought his knowledge and experience to the farm with annual visits and together rise the level of quality on such. So they started to work together and Tim has continuously reported from the farm and its developments, mistakes as well as successes in improving quality and facing the ongoing climate change. 

This project is one we have been following ever since and shared the result of this close partnership again and again with you. 
Proudly offering a small amount of the three varietals grown on the land of Finca Tamana, which we clearly recommend to cup/brew side by side with this rare opportunity of diversity from one single place and many years of close collaboration. 

And for those of you who are not aware, Tim has bought a piece of land from Elias in 2015 to start his very first own farm called Finca Suelo where he would experiment with different techniques in soil, planting, growing, harvesting and fermenting specialty grade coffee. Being a pioneer in the scene Tim is continuing his genuine journey in improving quality from seed to cup and investing a lot of time, money and effort into researching, field testing as well as sharing the results through a diversity of channels. 

Happy brewing to you!
