Aristides Guarnizo Cruz Colombia - Huila
Aristides Guarnizo Cruz, a first-generation coffee farmer, owns Finca El Progresso and La Cumbre with his family in El Libano, Tarqui. Despite initial challenges due to rocky terrain, high altitude, and constant winds, the Guarnizo brothers have successfully established a coffee-growing trend in the area. They focus on sustainable farming practices, including
self-made compost and microorganism teas, replacing chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Colombian micro-lots, known for their high quality and traceability, are sourced based on cup quality, requiring 87+ points, and are generally processed through Washed methods, with variations in fermentation and drying. Aristides Guarnizo Cruz's dedication to innovation and sustain-ability is reflected in every cup, making this coffee a testament to the exceptional quality and care put into its production.
