Café Uba is a Colombian coffee business model created in 2014 by Mr. Julio Cesar Madrid, a traditional coffee grower and third-generation coffee farmer in his family, dedicated to managing his family’s coffee farms. Motivated by the desire to create a coffee company different from the traditional ones in Colombia, he decided to innovate and transform the coffee production of his farms into specialty coffee. He began by planting different coffee varieties and developing various fermentation types, which would lead to differentiation and high quality in the sensory profiles of the coffees.
Café Uba has three coffee farms: Riviera, Milán, and Buenos Aires, located in the Risaralda department in Colombia, totaling more than 200 hectares cultivated with coffee, with around one million coffee trees and more than 20 different coffee varieties.
Focusing on controlling the quality of the coffee fermentation processes, Mr. Madrid and his team have determined the ideal fermentation times for each of the varieties, as well as the drying protocols, using different systems and techniques. After years of experience in coffee fermentation, at UBA, they have designed different fermentation processes adapted to their varieties:
● Washed ● Natural ● Culturing ● Nitro Fermentation ● Bioreactor
Today, the acquired experience, combined with the good environmental conditions of the crops, has allowed them to win various quality awards for coffee, both nationally, and internationally, also winning in different barista championships around the world.
