coffee info

Juan Saldarriaga manages two farms, La Claudina and El Encanto, each spanning approximately 60 hectares, with a total coffee-planted area of 42 hectares. The remaining land is preserved as forest and a natural reserve.

Juan assumed control of his family's two farms in 2012, initiating the cultivation of diverse and new cultivars, including Castillos, Caturras, Tabis, Bourbons, Geishas, and SL28s, among others. His objective is to understand how each variety thrives in their environment, with plans to expand production of the most successful ones.

El Encanto happens to be his father’s (Luis Saldarriaga) favourite farm. It is exceptionally well kept, and it even features a variety garden that displays the huge range of planted cultivars. This farm spans altitudes from 1380 to 1800 masl, covering approximately 26 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation. The predominant varieties include Variedad Colombia, Castillo, substantial amounts of Tabi, limited quantities of SL 28, Maragogipe, Geisha, Bourbon, Caturra Chiroso, and Castillo Tambo.
