Jacinto Lozada, From Finca El Paraiso in Pitalito

Finca El Paraiso is located in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, and managed by Jacinto Lozada, a 50-year-old, second-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 2 hectares of land sitting at an elevation of 1,780 m.a.s.l, and around 3,000 coffee trees in production of the Pink Bourbon and Caturra varieties.

Jacinto processes his coffee by harvesting the ripest cherries and leaving them to dry ferment overnight in open tanks. Cherries are then de-pulped and placed in sealed barrels to ferment for an additional 40 hours, after which the parchment is washed and dried on raised beds for up to 18 days, depending on the weather.

Productor del Futuro in Pitalito.

Jacinto Lozada has been around coffee his entire life, but never had a knack to it. It wasn’t until he started forming his own family, that he noticed coffee as a source of stable income, and actually got really good at it! 

With over 15 years of experience now, Jacinto Lozada is a member of “Productores del Futuro”, with high hopes of turning his farm into his own agro-business.

All the members of his family are active participants in harvest and post-harvest processes, and their dedication shows… his coffees continually achieve high scores at the cupping table! 

We started working with Jacinto Lozada and Finca El Paraiso in 2022, and are thrilled to continue building this relationship.
