Parcela 12 is a 15-hectare specialty coffee farm in Ibague, Colombia, owned by Luis Eduardo Quintero.  Mr. Luis worked as a day laborer since he was very young.  Fifteen years ago he was presented with the great opportunity to purchase Parcela 12 when nothing was yet planted.  Since he has the knowledge coming from a coffee-growing family, he planted 6 hectares of Caturro, Catimor and Castillo coffees.  Because of the good production, he gradually increased his coffee plantations, reaching 15 hectares of coffee with an aromatic and differentiated profile.  During harvest, he employs up to 30 workers who are trained to make the best selection.
