Finca Las Flores
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
Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure started Finca Las Flores in 1990 with two hectares of coffee and had fully planted the farm by 1998. Nubia placed 16th in Colombia's 2006 Cup of Excellence. Their five children, Xiomara, Leonardo, Carlos, Jhoan and Diego, grew up in coffee; Carlos and Diego lead fermentation and drying while Jhoan focuses on experimentation and commercial outreach.
Challenges
The farm has navigated the loss of family leadership following the passing of co-founder Nubia Ayure in 2012. They also manage the complexities of maintaining high-quality production across diverse, rare coffee varieties on a limited land holding.
Innovations
The Vergara brothers have implemented data-led processing techniques, including low-impact thermal shock and staged fermentation. They have also focused on updating their varietal portfolio and integrating scientific research into their harvesting and drying protocols.

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.
