Tabi La Roca is one of the popular members of our limited series , Treat Selection. In this series, we want to show specialty fans the unique coffees that are special to us for some reason.
The Tabi variant is a relatively new shrub, it was crossed around 2002 from the most widespread varieties in Colombia (Bourbon, Typica, Timor) in order to create a variant that is more resistant to diseases while retaining their good properties. The word "Tabi" means "good" in the language of the local aborigines. We can't argue with that either :-)
The La Roca farm originates from the Gaitania highlands within the Tolima region. The owner of the farm is Jorge Elias Rojas , who, in addition to growing excellent coffees, also plays a decisive role in the life of the local community and the coffee industry. Following his decision a few years ago , he grows only the highest quality specialty coffees , using appropriate agricultural practices. He participates in community programs, educates, helps other farms, and educates the next generations.
