Colombia, Finca Las Florestales, Maximino Gutierrez

On Finca Las Florestales, a farm deep in the Andes mountains, Maximino Gutierrez’s careful work has produced one of the world’s most special coffees. This is a relatively small farm, producing only about 1500 pounds of coffee per year, but it serves as a model for how a coffee farm should operate. Maximino cultivates only yellow Caturra trees on his land, and has invested in upgrading his equipment year after year.
