I was born the son of a coffee grower, and from a very young age I began learning the craft of coffee farming. My father taught me the many skills and traditions of caficulture, sharing his knowledge of processes and quality, which he has cultivated for more than ten years.
Two years ago, the opportunity arose to acquire Finca La Manoa, a dream that I shared with my parents. Together, we embraced this challenge, exploring new varietals and building a project rooted in family values. My parents have been my greatest support — their guidance and dedication have shaped my journey and inspired me to carry this dream forward.
I have always lived in Planadas, Tolima, and everything I know about coffee I owe to them. Being a farmer is, to me, a blessing — the privilege of producing differentiated coffees with humility, responsibility, and a commitment to quality.
