La Perla #1 - Colombia

A microlot produced in Huila by Fernando Trujillo, on his farm, La Perla. It is sourced through our partners in Central Huila, Coocentral.

When asked about a message to consumers enjoying his coffee, Fernando responded, "Drink my coffee with love because it has been produced with love and dedication for the best palates in the world."

Fernando Trujillo consistently contributes exceptional coffees to the Coocentral program, showcasing a continuous improvement in both quality and production. With the technical assistance provided by the cooperative, he has actively enhanced the quality of his coffee. 

Situated in the village of Tablón de Bélgica in the Tarqui region, his farm, La Perla, is perched at 1800 meters—a favoured location in Huila. He cultivates Caturra, Colombia, Castillo, and Castillo Tambo varieties.

Fernando's journey in coffee cultivation began at the age of 13 when his father entrusted him with a small piece of land, gradually expanding his plantation over the years. "I have been raised in the world of coffee," shared Fernando. "I am 40 years old, and coffee has sustained this region for as long as I can remember."
