The coffee story

Jairo Arcila is a third generation coffee grower in Quindio, Colombia. Married to Luz Helena Salazar they had two children together: Carlos and Felipe Arcila, the co-founders of Cofinet. Jairo’s first job was at Colombia’s second-largest exporter as their Mill Manager. And continued to work there for over 40 years until his retirement in 2019. 
 
Jairo bought his first coffee farm, Finca La Esmeralda in 1987, where he planted his first Caturra lot.  He was fortunate enough to earn money by producing coffee while also working full time for the local exporter. Using his savings Jairo slowly managed to purchase five additional farms. First Villarazo, then Mazatlan, Santa Monica, Maracay and Buenos Aires. 

The process

This coffee is picked and hand sorted at Jairo's farm in Armenia, Quindio. Later transporter to Cofinet's processing station (500m away) where it was dry fermented for 16 hours. Later, cherries are floated for the second time and placed in parabolic dryers to ideal moisture content.
