Finca El Roble, from San Agustín, Huila
Finca El Roble is located in San Agustín, Huila, Colombia, and is managed by Ciro Valencia, a second-generation coffee producer. The farm spans 2 hectares at 1,800 m.a.s.l., where Ciro grows 5,000 Pink Bourbon trees and 3,500 Geisha trees.
Ciro’s process begins with selective harvesting of ripe cherries, which are floated and then fermented whole in plastic barrels for 40 hours. After depulping, the coffee undergoes a second fermentation in tanks for 60 hours while still in mucilage. The coffee is then washed and dried in a shaded marquesina for 15 to 20 days, depending on the weather.
Chasing Excellence
Ciro Valencia began working alongside his father in the early 1980s, learning the fundamentals of coffee cultivation. When he inherited Finca El Roble in 1990, he continued with his father’s legacy selling coffee through the local cooperative, but the prices never felt right. When Colombia’s Cup of Excellence competition emerged, it sparked in him the determination to produce high quality lots.
He heard about Pink Bourbon, sought out seeds, and planted them with the hope of achieving higher cup scores. Since then, each harvest has been an opportunity to refine his processes and push for better quality.
We began working with Ciro and Finca El Roble in 2023, and we are excited to continue building this relationship!
