Country of Origin: Colombia

Colombia has long been recognised for its diverse coffee-growing regions. Huila, in particular, stands out for its high altitudes and consistent climate, which contribute to the development of complex flavour profiles. Erika cultivates coffee in this region with a focus on quality and traceability.

Coffee Region: Alto de las Águilas, Gigante, Huila

Las Nubes sits at 1,600 metres above sea level and covers 14 hectares, 12 of which are planted with coffee. Erika grows Castillo and Colombia varieties. She works closely with Coocentral, a cooperative that provides technical assistance and helps producers improve post-harvest practices. The farm benefits from two harvests each year: the main harvest between June and July, and a secondary mitaca harvest from October to November.

‍ Erika Perez & Las Nubes Farm

Erika Mayerly Perez is a first-generation coffee producer based in Gigante, a municipality in the Huila department of Colombia.

Erika is involved in every stage of coffee production on her farm, Las Nubes, in Huila, Colombia. She begins by cultivating Castillo and Colombia varieties across 12 hectares of coffee-planted land. During harvest, she carefully selects ripe cherries and uses a submersible pump to separate floaters—this step helps ensure only high-density, healthy cherries move forward in processing.

Once sorted, Erika ferments the cherries in plastic containers, a method that allows her to control temperature and microbial activity more consistently. After fermentation, she dries the coffee on patios under the sun, monitoring conditions to avoid over-drying or uneven results. She manages two harvest cycles each year: the main harvest from June to July and the mitaca harvest from October to November.

Beyond the physical work, Erika collaborates with Coocentral, a cooperative that supports her with technical advice and helps improve post-harvest practices. She also participates in quality control and traceability efforts, ensuring her microlots meet specialty standards. Her attention to detail and commitment to learning have helped her achieve a cupping score of 87.25 for this particular lot.
