El Horizonte Farm
In the western valleys of Colombia, Roldanillo—a pueblo mágico known for its artistic spirit—is home to Harold Andrade, a fourth-generation coffee grower deeply connected to the land.
Fifteen years ago, Harold took over Finca El Horizonte, a family farm preserved for more than 65 years. Today, the farm operates under agroforestry systems and is recognized as a Natural Reserve of Civil Society, where coffee grows in balance with native trees, protected water sources, and local wildlife.
Sustainability and quality guide every step. Coffee byproducts are reused through vermiculture to naturally enrich the soil, while each lot is carefully selected by hand, supporting both precision and community. Constant experimentation with processing and fermentation allows Harold to create coffees with clarity, structure, and natural sweetness.
Through El Horizonte, Harold works to share authentic Colombian specialty coffee with the world—while supporting local farmers and protecting the future of his region.
Processing Method
Washed Process
Pure Intensity is crafted through a washed process designed to highlight clarity, balance, and clean intensity.
After harvest, the coffee cherries undergo a floating and selection process to remove impurities and ensure only optimally ripe fruit is used. The cherries are then gently depulped, and the remaining mucilage is removed using minimal water, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability and care for natural resources.
The coffee rests briefly in fermentation tanks before being dried naturally on aerated beds for approximately 15 days, using sunlight and fresh mountain air. Once dried and hulled, the green beans are shipped to Canada, where La Reserva 22 applies a precise roast profile developed to enhance natural sweetness, creamy body, and bold character.
The result is a washed Colombian specialty coffee with clean intensity, structure, and true character crafted for espresso, yet expressive across all brewing methods.
