About the farmers

Argemiro Vargas Nuñez — Colombia

Finca La Falda is a 13 hectare farm located in Timaná, Colombia. The farmer, Argemiro Vargas Nuñez, was born & raised in the area where the farm is located. Argemiro is passionate about coffee. He studied agricultural business administration, then worked for the Colombian Coffee-growers Federation [FNC] for almost 30 years. During this time he purchased La Falda.

Argemiro grows two coffee cultivars on the farm, Caturra & V. Colombia. During the harvest, Argemiro selectively hand-picks the coffee, each tree is picked from numerous times as the cherries ripen. The cherries are de-pulped, fermented, washed, then dried in parabolic driers [much like a green house, covered but open at each end to allow the air to flow through] for up to three weeks.

To develop our blend we start with fresh coffee samples, we roast them in our 20's Probat sample roaster then line them up on the cupping table, we look for coffee that has a good deal of natural sweetness, we may find tropical fruit note in a Colombian, citrus in a Burundi or dark fruity chocolate & creamy body in a Brasil. When the coffee lands we work out a suitable roasting profile, then roast fresh every day, Monday to Friday. We find our espresso best from the 5th day to 2 weeks after roasting so buy little & buy often.
