- About the Origin
Farm of Arturo Arango
Arturo Arango has been producing specialty coffees since 2015 at El Paraíso, a 25-hectare farm in Barcelona, Quindío, Colombia, at 1,300 meters above sea level. When he bought the farm, most of the trees were over 25 years old, so he renewed them with Costa Rica and Java varieties and introduced other crops like yucca and lemon. Inspired by the Specialty Coffee movement during his master’s in Agroindustries in Argentina, Arturo applies careful farming practices focused on plant health, weed control, and disease prevention.
His team handpicks only the ripest cherries, which are meticulously sorted, floated, and fermented for 45 hours before being dried on raised beds or in the Elbas station for 8-12 days under controlled greenhouse conditions. The result is a coffee with vibrant fruit, natural sweetness, and a full, balanced body; produced sustainably with recycled, naturally filtered water and a deep connection to the land.
