The producer
Finca Las Flores (about 16 hectares) lies in Acevedo, southern Huila. Jhoan Vergara is the third generation of a coffee-growing family and took over the farm in 2018, converting it from commodity production to specialty varieties (Pink and Red Bourbon, Tabi, Java, Chiroso, plus experimental Sidra and Ombligón). He is also a cup-taster and roaster: in 2019 he won the «Master of Coffee» contest in South Korea. On the farm he uses a microbiology lab and techniques such as thermal shock to control fermentations.
