On the beautiful hills near the town of Palestina, Huila, Luis Edgar Camacho resides at his farm La Palma. There, he lives with his wife Ledy and children, Jairo and Stiven. Luis Edgar comes from a coffee farming family. It was his father who, through working as a cherry picker, was able to save money and purchase the current farm. Unfortunately, not long after buying it, he passed away. Luis Edgar’s mother carried forward and provided for them. They eventually decided to build a house on the same farm to be near their mother. Initially, the variety they had was Typica, which they changed to Caturra, and in 2019, he introduced red bourbon planting 6,000 trees and Subsequently 2,000 pink bourbon trees in 2021, which has yielded the amazing results you get to taste in this cup.

The resulting cup being this good on such young trees is a testament to the passion at origin.

Luis Edgar started delivering coffee to our importing partner Caravela in 2014, describing it as a strict company with high standards, but he appreciates and likes their challenges. Over this period, he has experimented with several things to improve his quality, such as adjusting fermentation times and changing the vessel in which he ferments. For example, initially, he used traditional open­ tanks, but in 2022, he switched to blue plastic containers that can be sealed, placing a degassing valve. During that same year, he decided to submit his coffees to Cup of Excellence for the first time. Through his consistent and passionate work, Luis Edgar has been able to enhance the quality of his coffee, achieving higher quality coffees. He is happy with the work done on the farm, where he collaborates with his wife and children, each playing a key role, and they only hire one or two cherry pickers during harvest time. Additionally, he holds C.A.F.E Practices certification, with his farm serving as a model in the area.

We have so much time and love for being able to represent and highlight the work put in at origin by passionate producers. Harvesting
