Juan Martín

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

Finca Juan Martín is an experimental farm located in Cauca, Colombia, owned and operated by the specialty coffee operator Banexport. The farm was established as a project to serve as a model for local producers by refining cultivation, harvesting, and processing practices. It functions as a research site to identify optimal methods for various coffee varieties.

Challenges

The farm focuses on identifying varieties that offer specific flavor profiles, disease resistance, and adaptability to different altitudes and climates.

Innovations

The farm maintains 14 different coffee varieties and tests various processing methods, including anaerobic techniques, to develop best practices for coffee quality. It also serves as an educational resource for the local community, promoting environmentally conscious farming methods.

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.
