Colombia Wilder Santacruz

About This Coffee

This honey process coffee comes from Wilder Santacruz's 5 hectare farm, Villa Sol, located outside of Aponté in Nariño, Colombia. The coffee is grown at 2000 meters altitude and consists of Caturra and Castillo varieties. The processing involves initial fermentation of cherries for 48-72 hours, followed by de-pulping and an additional 24-hour fermentation in sealed containers. The coffee then undergoes a pre-dry on a patio before moving to a mechanical dryer heated by rice husks, not exceeding 35°C, and finally dried under a shade cloth until it reaches 10-11.5% moisture content. Flavor notes include blackberry, almond, and butterscotch.

Little Victories Coffee Roasters

Nick Discepola founded Little Victories in 2013 in Ottawa's Centretown, choosing a name that celebrates the small moments and quiet achievements a good cup of coffee can mark in a day. They roast on a Probat in small batches, favoring medium profiles that emphasize sweetness and balance across origins from Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Kenya, Brazil, and Honduras. Direct trade and transparent sourcing guide the buying decisions, and the wholesale program has grown to supply cafes, restaurants, and offices across the Ottawa region. A second location in Hintonburg expanded the footprint, and both spots are known for a genuine community focus, where regular customer relationships and welcoming staff set the tone. Creative seasonal drinks, regular cuppings, and a subscription service keep the offering fresh and the connection to the local coffee community strong.
