ALEXANDER VARGAS
PRODUCER
Alexander has been involved in coffee production for much of his life. After several years of hard work as a coffee picker, he and his wife decided to acquire the "La Piragüa" farm and embarked on their journey as specialty Colombian coffee producers.
They started by cultivating Striped Borbon and later planted other varieties such as Gesha, Java, Pink Borbon, and Caturra. "La Piragüa" farm is in the Los Olivos area, within the municipality of Palestina, in the Colombian region of Huila. The quality of the coffee grown on this farm stems from several unique aspects of the production process, including the altitude of the crops (1,850 m), the genetics of the varietals, the selection and care of the coffee cherries, and the fermentation processes.
His dream is to establish a coffee processing center, continue learning, and pass on his knowledge to his children so they can carry on the legacy
