The Experiment begun to plant coffee trees at 2,000 meters above
sea level. With challenges, unfavorable conditions in the soil and
the adverse microclimate for harvesting. For this, the soil
was improved. The native trees of the region were left and suitable
shade trees were planted such as Chalum and Gravileas. High quality
plants were selected in order to obtain the best organoleptic
characteristics and thus be able to enter the competitive and
demanding world of the best coffees. In accordance with current
ecological trends and at the same time contributing to the
reforestation that is so necessary for the region.
Another important element in the development of the farm has been
the creation of sources of rainwater capture (capture tanks) and
artisanal wells to store enough water for drip irrigation during
the summer season which is normally over a 6 month period.
Los Aguacatones farm is focused on producing high specialty
coffees using different processes such as: washed, honeys and
naturals. In order to satisfy the most demanding palates in the
specialty coffee industry. We implemented new drying
techniques in bunk beds with shadows of zaran, taking up to 15 days
to slowly dry the parchment, as well as new varieties like Gesha
and Pacamara.
In the year 2017 the farm participated in the Cup of Excellence
Program, reaching National Winner. We achieved the 8th place in the
Cup of Excellence 2018, 13th place in cup of excellence 2019 and
4th place in 2020.
This 1st place Cup of Excellence victory represents over 15 years
of daily dedication and hard work. It is a triumph built day by
day, where every detail was perfected to bring you the best lot of
our history. The auction is your exclusive opportunity to own this
champion coffee—place your bid and take this winning lot
