El Recuerdo
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
Café El Recuerdo is a family-owned business that represents three generations of coffee-growing tradition. Currently, the farm is managed by five brothers who are focused on modernizing the company and sharing their Huila-grown coffee with the global market.
Challenges
The farm utilizes the cooler mountain climate to slow cherry maturation, which helps manage the development of the coffee cherries despite the inherent difficulties of high-altitude terrain.
Innovations
The farm employs a marquesina, a specialized covered drying structure, to protect the coffee and ensure gradual, even moisture reduction during the post-harvest process.
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.
