Washed Pink Bourbon

My name is Domingo Torres and I was born in Guapi, Cauca, Colombia, on September 19, 1963. In 1980, I arrived in Puerto Tejada, Cauca, where I worked as a sugarcane cutter for approximately three years. Later, I was hired to do this work in the state of Portuguesa, Venezuela, in 1984. After this experience, I entered the formal and informal trade, looking for ways to survive. In 1989, I began my work in mining, working in this area for approximately 20 years. It was during my stay in Cúcuta that I met my wife, Saray Sepúlveda, who has been my support, my support and my life partner to this day. Thanks to the savings we managed to accumulate with my work in mining, in 2010 we were able to acquire the El Roble farm, located in the Sombrerito area, municipality of Ragonvalia, Norte de Santander. Initially, we ventured into livestock farming, but unfortunately we did not obtain the expected results. Over time, and given the need to have a source of income in line with our rural environment, we decided to venture into coffee growing.

Despite not having previous experience in this field, but with the support and teachings of extensionist Elmer Parada, we learned and advanced along the way, becoming one of the best coffees in Colombia. Our trajectory is characterized by the recognition of our product in the COLOMBIA LAND OF DIVERSITY NATIONAL COFFEE COMPETITION in 2021, 2022 and 2023, which validate and certify the quality of our coffee in attributes such as: Body, Smoothness, Exotic, Balance, Acidity. In addition to this, our coffee is currently positioned as the highest-rated coffee in the international specialty coffee auction.
