"En el primer sorbo, fue literalmente helado de vainilla y mango en mi boca. Es una combinación de frutas maduras, melocotón amarillo, mango, caqui y melón dulce, con una sensación en la boca súper almibarada y pegajosa, que también me grabó al plátano. . Toques de especias allí también. Acidez tartárica de soporte medio." - Café de la torre AUS ( FELIX ALBERTO TORRES MORANTES), January, 2023

The coffee story
Finca San Fernando started in the middle of 2006 with Don Gonzalo Mancilla, a Santanderean with a verraquera, a purebred Ocamontano, tireless worker all his life in Bucaramanga (Santander), a public accountant by profession and father of a family.
He decided to buy a completely abandoned farm, a dream that he fed on the money paid at the time of giving up his job, betting on reviving his peasant origin. Since before the farm existed, that piece of heaven-made land, had the name San Fernando in homage and eternal memory to his older brother, a pro-man-made charisma, an example of honesty and justice, who faithfully embodied the courageous spirit that through these wild lands of Santander rumbled.
In its beginnings, the farm was abandoned and deforested due to its cattle use, with the main house in ruins, having been dynamited by one of its previous owners, the grandson of a Notary of Piedecuesta. He had - supposedly - buried a "Guaca" or treasure.
It became necessary to build the house from scratch, on the meagre survivors of its old bareque and stone construction. In the beginning, the San Fernando Farm was dedicated to poultry, fish and livestock production, as well as some self-consumption crops.
True to his roots, Don Gonzalo dreamed of venturing into coffee farming, planting a small plot of coffee, and reliving his childhood memories in the middle of the fields and coffee plantations.
At the same time, his youngest son, Gonzalo Mancilla, began his higher studies in Agricultural Engineering in February 2007, having contact there with the influence of academic thought, oriented towards the idea of Sustainability in its three pillars (Social-Environmental -Economic), as the engine of humanity.

In 2009, the first coffee trees were planted with the support from the National Federation of Colombian Coffee Growers (FNC). At that time, Gonzalo Mancilla (son) decided to enter this exciting world of coffee as the Technical Advisor of the farm.

Xeridas is an indigenous word which means "similar to the sky". It's how the Guanes referred to the micro-region "Meseta de los Santos" in Santander, a peaceful place that contrasts with their warlike nature, which they preserved until their disappearance.
