Coffee Jishui ACIT

Luis Carlos’ dedication to coffee farming is given by family tradition, his grandparents and his parents were coffee growers, they taught him everything about the Cultivation of Coffee. Luis Carlos worked on his father’s farm until his father gave him a piece of land so that he could plant his own coffee trees, planting a total of four thousand plants. A few years later, thanks to the economic support that his father had given him, Luis Carlos began to look for a small farm to buy, this is when he found the land that today is Finca El Diviso. When Luis Carlos first saw Farm El Diviso, it seemed a bit remote and cold because of its proximity to the Cordillera, but the price he was able to negotiate and the payment facilities they gave him helped Luis to be able to plant the farm in its entirety, At the beginning the land had seven thousand plants in production and Luis Carlos managed to plant the entire Farm with coffee plants, in addition to improving the land and facilities. Luis was able to get the most out of his land and thus build Farm El Diviso. A few months later, after planting coffee trees throughout the farm – currently 4.5 hectares of the 5 hectares of the farm are cultivated with coffee – Luis became a member of a cooperative that invited him to participate in a fair of specialty coffees. At first Luis Carlos was quite reluctant to participate in this type of event because he had heard that it was very difficult to get a good coffee to participate, but finally at the last moment he was able to get a good coffee. decided to register and participate in the fair. Out of almost four hundred participants, the Coffee of Luis Carlos from his Farm El Diviso was in fourth place at the departmental level. The qualification in the fair meant a before and after for the Farm El Diviso, since Luis’ motivation to produce specialty coffees increased, For the last 8 años Luis has been producing specialty coffees in his farm El Diviso, always trying to improve, working on the processes and adapting the farm to obtain the best lots of coffee in his region, always counting on the support of his wife and children.
