Colombia Alexander Vargas Pink Bourbon Washed Filter - Single Origin.

Coffee has always played a major part in Alexander Vargas’ life growing up in a coffee family. Around the year 2000, he decided to start producing coffee on his own, acquiring a piece of scrub land dedicating his time to clearing & planting his first coffee trees.

Alexander built & adapted Finca La Piragua from scratch. He is very proud to say that everything he owns is created by him & his family. Today, he has 10 hectares of coffee, 7 of them under production & the rest diversified with dragonfruit.

Alexander works together with his wife Lidia to process & produce specialty coffee. Alexander takes care of harvesting coffee trees, & together with Lidia, they both take care of the fermentation & drying processes.

In 2006, Alexander decided to focus on producing solely specialty coffees as a way to add value & find recognition for his hard work on every lot that he delivered. To achieve this, he started working with a coffee group called Café Quebradón, where he learned & gained experience & knowledge. Afterwards, he continued work as an independent producer, applying everything that he learnt to his farm while improving processes & infrastructure to better his quality.
