Villa Sofia
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
Villa Sofia is operated by Oliva Quinayas, who is part of the broader Quinayas family network of coffee producers in the San Agustín region. While the farm is a distinct entity, it is associated with the multi-generational tradition of coffee farming practiced by the Quinayas family in the hills of Huila. The farm has recently gained recognition through specialty coffee partnerships that highlight the specific output of Oliva Quinayas.
Challenges
Producers in the San Agustín region face economic instability where investing in coffee production often lacks guaranteed financial returns.
Innovations
The farm utilizes a meticulous washing process that includes floating cherries to remove defects, holding them in-cherry for 24 hours, and dry-fermenting in tile tanks for 36 hours. This controlled approach ensures consistent quality and moisture levels of 10.5% before the coffee is prepared for export.
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.
