ABOUT THE FARM

Los Árboles is a beautiful medium-sized farm of 9 hectares. The farm got its name, Los Arboles, meaning trees, because of the incredible variety of fruit trees. They not only provide the coffee plants with much-needed shade, but also thanks to their high concentration, the roots of the coffee plants have good nutrition. The couple Yudi and Arley founded the farm in the village of Filo de Chillurco, belonging to municipality of Pitalito in the Huila department. For five years, the family has been experimenting with extended fermentations, washed coffees and natural processing. Mrs. Yudi is particularly proud of the Geisha production, a variety, which they have been cultivating for the seventh year and have had excellent results with it.

“Thanks to the natural conditions and the quality of the soil, which is rich in nutrients, our coffee is characterized by its smoothness.”

We love trees, shrubs, everything that contributes to this whole fragile ecosystem. We think that trees and coffee plants can support each other in good growth, sending nutrients to each other through the roots, and we also believe that coffee is more fruity and tastier when it grows around a fruit tree.
