Colombia Las Palmas - Step Camel

In the lush mountains of Wila located in the southwest of Colombia, you find the Chalos Coffee Farm. Chalos Fernandez is a fifth-generation coffee grower of high-quality coffee, which his family has been cultivating for more than 110 years in the Paicol region. Since he took responsibility for the farm, succeeding his grandfather in 2010, Chalos and his brothers have maintained their traditions despite carving out their own path as a third wave of specialty coffee producers. In addition to cultivating exceptional coffee, Chalos and his family are leaders in their community because they are a model of environmental conservation and pride themselves on providing employment opportunities and education for their community. Chalos dedicated himself to producing the perfect cup of coffee, building excellent direct trade relationships with roasters, and helping his community thrive through projects that can be achieved by selling his coffee production.

On his farm, a variety of Arabica and Castillo beans grow as a result of the gradual and ongoing application of organic farming. Castillo variety is environmentally friendly and highly productive, resulting from the blending of Caturra and Tímor types. Castillo has quality features such as high density and large bean size, and it is resistant to pests and diseases like rust ("roya") and green coffee seed disease. Coffee plants grow between 1450 and 1600 meters above sea level alongside orange, mandarin, lemon, and banana trees, as well as sugarcane and tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and guama, a native fruit of South America. Therefore, this elevation and natural vegetation create the ideal environment for growing coffee with a unique flavor and sweetness. Chalos Coffee in a word: When asked how he would describe the taste of his coffee, Chalos said: "Normal." Take the best day of your life and put it in your mouth! Jokes aside, he said nothing tastes sweeter than seeds planted with love with both hands and being able to present them to the whole world to enjoy.
