The Project

Brayan is a third generation coffee grower from Huila. He is a passionate young coffee farmer who decided to preserve the tradition while focusing on improving coffee practices and cultivating new varieties to enhance their specialty coffee crops.

Since childhood, he has witnessed his family’s dedication to coffee production and the care and excitement they invest in every harvest. He is now the leader of a coffee association which produces excellent coffees from Huila.

Brayan’s passion for coffee has had a significant impact on the community. He collaborates with small producers around his farm, providing them with tools and knowledge to produce exceptional coffees. He owns Las Brisas farm, located at an altitude of 1500-1800 m.a.s.l in Pitalito, Huila.

He produces various coffee varieties, including Pink Bourbon, Geisha, Sidra, Castillo, Caturra, and Chili Bourbon.

The Coffee

They handpick only the ripest cherries. Every cherry is carefully sorted and floated to remove any underripe or defective ones.

The cherries then undergo a 30 hour underwater fermentation, which develops a sweet, bright, and complex flavor while preserving the coffee’s natural qualities.

After fermentation, cherries are pulped, washed, and spread in parabolic dryers, where they are turned regularly to ensure even drying and prevent overfermentation.

The final moisture content is carefully monitored at 9.5–11%, ensuring perfect quality.
