El Roble
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
Hacienda El Roble is a historic estate in the Mesa de los Santos region of Santander, Colombia, with a legacy spanning over 150 years. The farm is currently owned by Oswaldo Acevedo and is recognized for its long-standing commitment to coffee production and organic practices.
Challenges
The farm is located in a very dry area of Bucaramanga that experiences occasional severe drought, necessitating the use of shade trees to retain soil moisture.
Innovations
The farm maintains a unique coffee garden containing over 70 different coffee varieties and species for research and preservation. They are recognized as one of the first organic coffee forests in Colombia and employ a dedicated staff of scientists and agronomists to refine processing techniques.
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.
