COLOMBIA FINCA SAN LUIS OMAR PAPAYO

Finca Sa Luis is an exceptional coffee farm from Libano, Tolima, that we know practices organic farming to produce Geisha coffee. Located near the Ecuadorian border and at high altitude, Finca San has an ideal microclimate and fertile soil for growing high-quality coffee.

Beside growing the finest coffee, Omar has a high sense of responsibility and respect for the environment. Therefore, he chose to implement organic farming practices, mainly using his pulped cherries and animal waste as organic fertilizer. This does not come without a challenge since organic farming reduces harvest yields by up to 60%. One way to overcome this is by opening more coffee farms to achieve the harvest yield target.

Now, Omar enjoys sustainable and economic coffee growing since his production costs have significantly dropped and he can preserve local nature while growing good coffee.
