Buenavista, Quindío · Since 1972
Hacienda San Alberto is one of Colombia's most awarded single-estate coffees. Operating in Buenavista, Quindío since 1972, the estate is known for its trademarked Quintuple Selection process — five hand-selections between cherry picking and final cupping.
Every bag comes from a single estate rather than a blend of farms — so the terroir, altitude, and practice behind each coffee stay consistent from lot to lot.
Hacienda San Alberto sits in the heart of Colombia's Eje Cafetero — the country's traditional coffee-growing region — at altitudes between 1,500 and 1,800 meters above sea level. The estate has been in continuous operation since 1972 and is the most awarded single-estate coffee in Colombia.
The defining feature of San Alberto's coffee is the Quintuple Selection process: five rounds of hand-selection that begin at cherry picking and continue through each stage of processing. The result is a remarkably consistent cup — the same quality bar held across every bag.
