The story

Juan Pablo Ortiz inherited the property, known as Fundo Ortiz, in 2015. The land was originally planted with older Tipica coffee trees, which Ortiz replaced in 2018 with new Gesha and Limani varieties. His parents were the first generation of coffee farmers to establish the farm.

Challenges

The farm has navigated the transition from traditional varieties to specialty Gesha production, with the first small harvest of the new trees occurring in 2020.

Innovations

The farm is noted for its extreme dedication to quality and its efforts to demonstrate the potential of coffee production in the Vilcabamba region.

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.
