Coffee Jaime Gutierrez 500 Grams

THE STORY OF JAIME GUTIÉRREZ AND HIS SINGLE-ORIGIN COFFEE
Arbeláez, Cundinamarca, Colombia

In the verdant hills of Arbeláez, where the mountain range softens and the mist awakens the mountains each morning, coffee is a symbol of identity and family continuity. For Jaime Gutiérrez , a coffee farmer since 2005, it is also a profound vocation: a life dedicated to the land, to detail, and to the flavor born of patience.

Sunrises in Arbeláez possess a tranquil beauty. The fresh air carries the scent of native flowers; hummingbirds flit through the coffee plantations in flashes of green and red; the light filters through guava, orange, heliconia, and other trees that support a lush biodiversity. Among this mosaic of life grow the coffee plants, nourished by a near-perfect climate: mild days, cool nights, and constant rains that keep the mountain alive.

THE TRADE THAT GIVES LIFE TO THIS CAFE
Growing specialty coffee in this region is an act of precision and daily dedication:

• Selective manual harvesting , returning to each tree several times to pick only the cherries at their peak.

• Careful fermentation , adjusted according to the humidity and temperature of each day.

• Slow and artisanal drying , moving the grain by hand to ensure uniformity.

• Regular tastings , ensuring that each batch clearly expresses its identity.

It's a job that demands early mornings, careful observation of the weather, and constant decision-making. But it also brings joy: seeing a harvest ripen in perfect balance, a batch reach its ideal sweetness, and family tradition transform into a memorable cup.

THE TASTE OF JAIME GUTIÉRREZ COFFEE
This single-origin coffee, which AlmAmericas presents as its first specialty offering in Spain, achieves a rating of 85 points . Its profile combines warmth, sweetness, and balance.

• Notes of chocolate and caramel , soft, enveloping and persistent.

• A silky body of medium intensity.

• A pleasant acidity , reflecting the altitude and the freshness of the climate.

• Hints of panela, roasted cocoa and nuts appear as the cup cools.

It is an honest, expressive and elegant coffee, born from the mountain and the meticulous care of a producer who works with full conviction.

AN ALLIANCE THAT HONORS ITS ORIGINS
For AlmAmericas, this coffee represents what ethical trade should be: respect for the producer, transparency in the process, and a genuine commitment to quality and dignity. It carries with it the spirit of Arbeláez, the dedication of Jaime, and the natural richness of a region that has cultivated coffee for generations.

Each cup is a bridge between the mountain and the one who enjoys it: a reminder that the beauty of coffee is born from expert hands, living soils, and a tradition that continues to flourish.
