About this coffee :

Diego Samuel started with his coffee growing project Finca El Paraiso in 2008. To him growing coffee was fascinating, he would love to visit his friend’s farms and see them growing coffee. No one in his family grew coffee at that time so he says that he’s been adopted by the coffee growing industry.

His family owned a farm that was isolated so Diego saw the opportunity to grow coffee there and after getting the permission of his family to start growing coffee he begins a 2.5 hectares project while doing his studies on Agricultural Enterprise Management. Selling his coffee to the local cooperatives allowed him to pay for his studies and start evolving as a coffee producer. After asking himself why he couldn’t afford other things than his studies out of the coffee sold from his farm.

He decides to start building a network by going to different shows in different regions meeting people and realised that there were other ways to produce coffee of different qualities, from different varieties and submitting them to different contests.

Today through his company Indestec (Innovación y Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Caficultura) Diego has managed to create new innovative technologies in order to keep the consistency of his great cup profiles not only from his farm but neighbour farms from his family and friends. He says that he likes to be out of his comfort zone as this has always helped him to keep evolving.

Diego grows on his farm Bourbon, Laurina, Gesha, Castillo and Colombia and plans on growing more varietals. He expects to keep participating in this kind of contest as this has been the way to promote his work and establish new commercial relationships.

This Anaerobic rose tea is a true eye opener, bursting floral aromatics of osmanthus, & rose, lovely peach sweetness with a long lingering pomegranate fruity finish. What a great coffee to enjoy in the evening.
