Farm History
Filipe is originally from Tomila and is the first generation of coffee farmer in his family. He got his start in coffee at only 16 years old with the help of his brother, who was working for a coffee exporter at the time. He began studying agricultural engineering in Cauca, which took him away from coffee for a while. Meanwhile, his brother bought some land in Antioquia and started growing coffee. He encouraged Filipe to join the business. Together they attempted to grow 80,000 plants from scratch completely organically, which proved to be an incredible challenge and resulted in a loss of over 80% of the plants. Today they have 25,000 plants of which 50% are organic and 50% are conventionally grown. The goal continues to be a transition to 100% organic cultivation. The Chiroso variety only really became known in coffee circles a few years ago. A large yield and appealing flavor profile have made this variety a good choice for Filipe. a good choice for Filipe. "The plant resembles a Caturra, but the beans are elongated like those of a Bourbon" he explains. He decided to enter this rare coffee in the Cup of Excellence and, with great surprise but more than deserved, took 1st place.
