Finca La Negrita is a lush estate in Tolima, Colombia that’s been optimized with surgical precision to produce world class coffee. Mauricio Shattah, a medical doctor by trade, takes meticulous care to treat every harvest with excellent attention to detail. At 1,700masl, he cultivates niche varieties including Moka, Laurina, Wush Wush, Pluma Hidalgo, and more. It’s not easy to coax successful harvests from these delicate plants, but with the effort Mauricio puts into his land, he takes it a step beyond success and to world renown quality.
