Las Flores

Las Flores is a 14.5-hectare farm in the town of San Isidro, in the city of Acevedo, Huila. Jhoan Vergara's family, which has been producing coffee for three generations, started the farm with 18,000 coffee trees in 1990. Each year they continued to grow until they reached 90,000 coffee trees. The turning point for Finca Las Flores was when she participated in the Cup of Excellence in 2006. The CoE program began their journey into a world of professional and differentiated coffee.

Jhoan began controlling the coffee's production and improving its post-harvest processing. Specially produced varieties include Pink Bourbon, Tabi, Java, Maracaturra, Chiroso and Sidra. All of Las Flores' coffee is hand-picked and naturally dried to ensure quality consistency. It also focuses on various fermentation techniques, such as oxidation.

Processing first dries and ferments the coffee cherries in a plastic container for 48 hours. It then goes through heat shock treatment (washing the coffee with water heated to 35 degrees Celsius). Drying takes place slowly for 12 to 15 days in a high bed under the sun parabolic shade canopy.
