Finca El Chaferote, from San Agustín, Huila

Finca El Chaferote is located in San Agustín, Huila, Colombia, and managed by Erick Bravo, a third-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 9 hectares of land, with 2.5 hectares considered a natural reserve, since the farm is located right on the banks of the Magdalena River. It sits at an elevation of 1,550 m.a.s.l, and boasts 22,000 coffee trees in production, with varieties ranging from Pink Bourbon, Colombia, Castillo, and Catimore.

This particular lot is a blend of various lots throughout the harvest that we put together, that all exhibited the same quality in cup and point score. All lots are processed in the same way: 48 hours in cherry, followed by another 36-hour dry-ferment after de-pulping. Upon washing the coffees, they are laid out to dry in a greenhouse for approximately 15-20 days, depending on the weather

Family Effort that Pays Off

This lot is 100% Pink Bourbon, the variety that Erick is most focused on when it comes to their highest-quality coffees. Finca El Chaferote is actually a family-run business, with the son, Erick Bravo, at the helm of the Specialty Division.
We have worked with Erick and his family for a few years now and their attention to quality pays off. In addition to this stunning lot, they placed 5th in our Huila Mágico competition in 2020 and 2021 and have consistently placed high in Colombia’s Cup of Excellence Competitions! 
We have been working with Erick and Finca El Chaferote since 2021, and year after year we are surprised by their consistency and perpetual improvement!
