Unit price per

At Finca Los Cedros in Fredonia, Antioquia, producer Juan David Builes experiments at the intersection of tradition and technology. His Black Honey Castillo & Caturra lot is a testament to meticulous process—hand-sorted cherries undergo a slow honey fermentation before being carefully dried under controlled airflow to preserve depth and sweetness. The result is a balanced and inviting cup layered with brown sugar, dark chocolate, and peach, finished with subtle black tea warmth.
Behind the innovation is a legacy. The Barrientos family, who established Claraboya generations ago, helped shape Colombia’s coffee policies and laid the foundation for ethical, sustainable farming in the region. Juan David continues that spirit of experimentation and progress, merging history with modern craft to create something quietly revolutionary.
