From childhood, Jorge has been immersed in the world of coffee, guided by his stepfather, who instilled in him a deep passion for the craft. After finishing high school, he worked as a salesperson in various stores. In 2002, with his first savings, he bought a 1 1/2-hectare plot from his stepfather and planted it with conventional coffee.
Four years ago, his cousin sold him 1/4 of a hectare in the high mountains (1600 masl), and his biological father sold him 3/4 of a hectare to create a 1-hectare plot. He planted this new land with coffee pacas, and from this farm, he now produces exceptional specialty coffee every single year.
