The story

The farm is managed by producer Franci Marin Morales, who works the land alongside her husband. She has gained recognition for her coffee quality, including placing second in the inaugural Copa de Oro competition for the Huila region.

Challenges

The farm operates in a highly competitive environment, with producers in the region facing rigorous standards to achieve top rankings in local quality competitions.

Innovations

For SEY’s January 2025 lot, ripe cherry was selectively picked, floated, de-pulped on the harvest day, dry-fermented for 30 hours, and dried on raised beds.

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
