El Estoraque
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
El Estoraque is managed by Jeison, who is the nephew of Alba and the son of Blanca, a prominent coffee-growing family in the Buesaco region. The farm is part of a multi-generational legacy of coffee production in Nariño, with family members actively contributing to the region's reputation for specialty coffee.
Challenges
Coffee cultivation at high elevations in this region often faces the risk of plant die-back due to the extreme conditions.
Innovations
For Intelligentsia's documented honey lot, ripe cherry was partially depulped, fermented anaerobically for an undisclosed extended period, washed once and dried on covered raised beds. This is lot-specific processing, not a permanent farm protocol.
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.
