About the farm and the producer (from Coffee Quest):
Jorge Rojas, a fourth-generation coffee grower, manages Finca El Jardin in Planadas, Tolima, Colombia. Introduced to coffee farming at just 13 years old, Jorge gained invaluable knowledge under his mother’s guidance. Inheriting a portion of his father’s farm and acquiring land from a neighboring farmer, Jorge established his own Finca El Jardin.
Family involvement is integral to Jorge’s coffee production. Together, they work diligently in the fields, aiming to innovate and produce exceptional coffee. Additionally, Jorge has ventured into creating his own brand, La Roca, where he personally roasts coffee. Currently, he is constructing a wet mill to purchase and process coffee cherries from neighboring farmers, further enhancing his production.
Finca El Jardin spans three hectares solely dedicated to coffee cultivation. Within this area, a diverse range of coffee varieties can be found, including 4,000 Caturra, 7,000 Yellow Colombia, 1,000 Pink Bourbon, 800 Wush Wush, and 1,000 Geisha.
