GERMAN PENA (Copa de Oro) | COLOMBIA | washed

About the Producer:
German currently works at El Roblar with his wife and two kids. His extended family also lives nearby and helps with fertilizing, crop maintenance, and harvesting. German and his father created El Roblar from nothing. His family originally owned a small coffee plantation at a lower altitude in the Huila region. When he was 14, his father sold that plantation and bought an empty plot of land at a higher altitude, now named Finca El Roblar.

They had no house or shelter built on the land, so German’s family slept in tents while they were developing the land. Now, German runs the farm and has a variety of different coffee trees. This particular Pink Bourbon lot won him an award at the Copa de Oro competition for the best coffee in Colombia.
