The story
Intelligentsia was introduced to Doña Rovira through exporter In-Conexus, which had supported a small group of San Agustín growers since 2016. A La Pelota Pink Bourbon entered Intelligentsia’s program through the 2018 Best of Huila competition.
Challenges
The farm is situated in a remote, forested area of Southern Huila, which presents logistical difficulties for cultivation and transport.
Innovations
The farm has gained recognition for its focus on high-quality microlots, specifically the Pink Bourbon variety, which has achieved top rankings in national competitions.
