Colombia Excelo Tolima-Finca Las Cuevas (GP)

Finca Las Cuevas is a 3-hectare specialty coffee farm in Planadas, Colombia, owned by Robinson Olivera. Mr. Robinson comes from a family of coffee producers. Both his parents and grandparents were farmers. Because of this knowledge and connection, he purchased his farm, Las Cuevas, over 10 years ago. His farm was named Las Cuevas since there is a small cave in the middle of the farm. This cave is a symbol Mr. Robinson protects and highlights.

Robinson Olivera has partnered with InConexus for over 5 years. During this time, he has received training and technical follow-up to improve the profile and cup of his coffee. These improvements have helped to make his coffee all the more striking and impressive. These positive qualities are also because of the banana and cane trees that provide the coffee trees with shade.

Mr. Robinson employs up to 10 additional workers during harvest. His wife also helps manage the farm and is crucial to the improvements they have been making. In the future, Mr. Robinson has goals to have an excellent drying infrastructure and get his organic certificate.
