When he met Nidia, his wife, he decided it was time for him to settle down and so found and purchased a piece of land in Suaza, which he named La Esperanza.This piece of land has slowly grown into his own farm, the same being true for each one of Jose Manuel's brothers. They are a perfect example of a family business, they all help each other out and work together toward the same objective: to producing high quality coffee. Jose Manuel doesn't only work on his own farm, he also helps his father and his brothers with the production.

Over the years, Jose Manuel has learned to cup coffee and differentiate different quality grades. For this reason, he is motivated to improve his processes to achieve excellent quality.PROCESS: WASHEDREGION: SUAZA, HUILAELEVATION: 1750VARIETAL: PINK BOURBONCUP: STONEFRUIT, LEMON, BERGAMOT, SPICE ROAST: FILTER
