For Pablo, Finca El Obraje is special because of its landscapes The terrain of Obraje is a major contributing factor to its coffee’s unique cup profile. The farm is situated near many volcanic mountains, and the rocky soil is rich with minerals. Obraje often does not receive adequate rainfall and instead has to irrigate select lots using water from the farm’s retention pond. Pablo Andrés Guerrero remembers passing most of his young years on his family’s farm, helping his father and learning about farming. Pablo remembers that there were two coffee trees on this farm, which they harvested for the internal and domestic consumption of the family. As Pablo grew older, he decided he wanted to follow his family’s steps, so he achieved to buy his own farm, El Obraje. He remembered those two trees that he used to see on his family’s old farm and remember how he used to harvest the cherries and process them to see his family drinking some coffee. Twenty years ago, Pablo decided to try growing coffee in a small piece of land of his farm, which then expanded to 20 hectares. Finca El Obraje is a special and unique because of the climate on top of its landscape. Temperatures vary greatly in a day, ranging from 32°C at noon to 8°C or less at night. The drastic temperature fluctuations impact the density of the coffee beans, and also causes the trees to be more compact than trees of the same variety growing in other regions of Colombia. Additionally, on the farm, they are conducting projects of environmental conservation and protection of their two water sources. Plus, they generate employment and economic development in the region. In a cup, expect a crisp and round cup with balanced tartness and sweetness of pomelo and pink guava, rosonating a pleasant note of rose.
