primavera - colombia - anaerobic natural

Ayae Maki Fredheim is originally from Japan. She moved to Norway with her husband in 2013. That is when she discovered her love for coffee and her passion for roasting started blossoming. Aya started as a barista at a café in Oslo in 2014, began roasting in 2018, and became the head roaster in 2019. She remained in that role until 2023 when her son was born. Motherhood has a certain way about empowering women to follow their dreams. Aya started her own roastery, and after months of planning, she officially launched Hibi Kaffe in November 2024.

Hibi means daily in Japanese—better coffee for your everyday moments. Basically. Aya says: "Starting this journey has been amazing, and I’m so excited to share it with others!" Equally amazing is the way that our paths crossed and that was a pure coincidence triggered by our common interest in sourdough baking, and Aya and Leif's hevet.no collection of proofing baskets.

Primavera has a unique aroma when you grind it, with a sweetness that reminds you of plum and chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel with a touch of blackcurrant freshness toward the finish. If you are looking for something special, this might be the one.

at the farm: La Primavera farm, situated in Acevedo, Huila, boasts an elevation of 1433 masl. Covering an area of 3 hectares, the farm is home to approximately 15,000 trees of Castillo Tambo and Papayo varieties. Ruben Correa, a third-generation coffee farmer, manages the farm together with his brother. He bought the farm approximately three decades ago. 

Cuatro Vientos is a family-run coffee company that offers microlots and regional blends. It was founded in 2018 and named after the Gonzalez family’s first farm, making the name especially meaningful to them. Yonatan Gonzalez, the General Manager, grew up on that original farm. He’s a third-generation coffee producer with a background in logistics. His father was a traditional Colombian parchment coffee buyer. The company works in several areas of Huila, which allows them to source coffee for six months each year. They have three buying stations, located in Acevedo, Santa Maria, and Algeciras. While they don’t have their own drying mill, they use facilities based in Acevedo.
