Diego Lopez, a passionate coffee producer from El Tambo, Nariño, cultivates exceptional high-altitude coffee using sustainable farming practices to preserve soil health and meticulous processing techniques that conserve water and reduce the environmental impact of coffee processing.

Nestled high up in the Andean mountains at 1,800 to 2,100masl, Finca San Francisco benefits from cool temperatures and volcanic soil, allowing slow cherry maturation to enhance sweetness and complexity. He chose washed processing to highlight the incredible terroir of this lot, which shines in a layered cup profile featuring notes of dark chocolate, caramel, fig, grape, and citrus. Committed to quality and sustainability, Diego works closely with his community to improve farming practices and showcase El Tambo as a premier specialty coffee region in Colombia.
