Finca El Casino

Profile image · identity and location not independently authenticated

This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.

The story

José grew up learning agronomy and processing from his parents, later returned to Palestina, and continued the family operation. El Casino’s washed Pink Bourbon placed fifth in Colombia’s 2021 Cup of Excellence.

Challenges

Release-specific harvest dates, fermentation durations, and drying schedules are not consistently published.

Innovations

Coffee income is reinvested in farm maintenance and improved drying infrastructure to strengthen quality and consistency.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
