La Esperanza

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

La Esperanza in Tolima is an eleven-hectare farm owned by William Buitrago and Aminta Mahocha Franco. The farm is situated in the rugged hills near the community of China Alta within the municipality of Ibagué.

Challenges

The farm is located in steep, rugged terrain surrounding the capital city of Ibagué, which presents logistical difficulties for cultivation and transport.

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.
