This small lot undergoes natural processing and earns extra points thanks to the producers’ use of regenerative agriculture and natural soil management. Father and son team Elmer \u0026amp; Juan Felipe Restrepo have crafted a coffee that takes us back to some of the first natural Colombians we ever tried. Natural coffees have only gained popularity in Colombia over the past decade, as producers have invested in the infrastructure needed to successfully produce them in the country’s typically wet climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOFFEE DEETS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTINENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSouth America\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eColombia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREGION: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaldas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCaturra \u0026amp; Cenicafe 1\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFARM:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eChambakú\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFARMER:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eElmer \u0026amp; Juan Felipe Restrepo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROCESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eDry Ferment Natural\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALTITUDE:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e1460 masl\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBREW THIS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe bright acidity and deep sweetness of these varieties shine with a classic V60 pour over, but the blend adapts beautifully to any brew method.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE FARM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAt just 16 years old, Elmer Restrepo began working in coffee and found much more than a livelihood; he found a path to shape the world around him. More than four decades later, he’s a respected voice in Colombian coffee and the founder of Finca Chambakú, which he runs with his youngest son, Juan Felipe Restrepo. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eA curious and driven “bean hunter,” Juan Felipe brings a scientific approach to fermentation and processing, complementing his father’s experience and intuition. Together, they’re building a legacy that goes beyond production, guided by the belief that coffee should give back as much as it takes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAt Chambakú, regenerative agriculture is central to that philosophy. The farm prioritizes soil health by reintroducing organic matter, composting natural by-products, and using microorganisms in place of chemical interventions to build a more balanced and resilient ecosystem. Juan Felipe has also developed an ecological wet mill system that drastically reduced water use from 40 liters down to just 0.2 liters per kilogram of coffee. This innovation has made the farm a pioneer in the region, incorporating bioreactors as part of a cleaner, more efficient process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eChambakú benefits from a distinctive environment, situated in a natural corridor shaped by winds and water descending from Nevado del Ruiz. Here, father and son continue to explore what’s possible when generations of experience meet scientific curiosity and a commitment to more sustainable coffee production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PROCESSING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe natural processing begins with cherries harvested at optimal ripeness, with a sugar content between 14° and 16° Brix. The cherries are then floated to separate lower-density fruit before being transferred to fermentation tanks in 1,500 kg batches. A 36-hour dry fermentation follows, allowing the natural characteristics of the fruit to develop. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAfter fermentation, the coffee is dried in a mechanical silo for 30 hours, with temperatures carefully maintained below 50°C to ensure stability and consistency. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steady State","offers":[{"title":"10oz","offer_id":67828449837370,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":67828449870138,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":67828449902906,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/6489\/files\/SS_10ozCoffelipe_LabeledProductImage_10.29.2026.jpg?v=1793318790","url":"https:\/\/www.steadystateroasting.com\/products\/coffelipe","provider":"Steady State","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
