ABOUT VILLA BETULIA
Specialty coffee from the most renowned region in Colombia: Huila
quality, innovation & craftsmanship
Luis Anibal Calderón is considered one of the most innovative coffee farmers in the municipality of Acevedo, in the Huila department of Colombia. His passion for specialty coffee and his deep understanding of the interaction between microclimate, soil composition, and coffee varieties have earned him international recognition.
At a time when many producers focused on mass production, Luis Anibal deliberately chose quality over quantity. This decision initially led to lower yields, but his focus on high-quality varieties and experimental processing methods paid off. Today, he is admired by many who were once skeptical of his vision.
His farm now serves as a model for other coffee growers in the region. Many seek his advice, wish to benefit from his knowledge, and acquire seeds from him.
