ABOUT THE COFFE ORIGIN
Nariño is one of Colombia's 32 Departments. It shares a
southern border with Ecuador and is home to
thousands of smallholder coffee producing families.
Colombia's three ranges of Andean mountains
converge in Nariño, presenting ideal altitudes and
fertile soil for high grown Arabica production.
Nariño's particular geography and proximity to costal
and land borders have historically transformed it into
corridor for illicit trade routes, resulting in unwarranted
violence against residents of remote mountain farms.
Today, thanks to the particularly resilient and fearless
spirit of Nariño's farmers, the small region is a
respected nucleus of coffee innovation.

Mr. Pablo Guerrero was the first to introduce coffee to the Tangua area outside of the city of Pasto.
The town used to be a wheat and bean production area, but as business started to falter Mr.
Guerrero saw an opportunity to explore with coffee. It was risky because he was unsure how
productive coffee would be in the high attitude, but coffee flourished and now others are following in
his footsteps. Pablo Guerrero's farm Finca El Obraje is one of the most stunning pieces of properties
in the mountains of the Narino department. Originally the farm was an apple orchard, and transition
to coffee has been challenging yet rewarding. Mr. Guerrero's background in architecture leads him
to approach coffee from both passionate and pragmatic angles, applying planting and processing
strategies designed for long term farm health.
