The story

El Tambo is owned and operated by Daniel Caro Lopez, a young second-generation coffee producer. The farm spans 33 hectares in the Güíntar region of Anzá, Antioquia, with five hectares currently dedicated to coffee cultivation. The farm is part of a long-term collaborative project focused on the development and production of the Chiroso variety.

Challenges

The farm is situated at a high altitude of 2,200 meters, which presents specific environmental conditions for coffee production. Producers in the region have also faced the challenge of limited information regarding the origins and history of the Chiroso variety.

Innovations

The farm utilizes precise post-harvest processing techniques, including floating cherries to ensure quality and extended underwater fermentation periods. These methods are part of a focused effort to improve the cup profile of the Chiroso variety.
