Colombia Santiago Ordoñez

Highlights

“Santiago Ordóñez Carmona is a third-generation grower who came to coffee late: before inheriting his grandmother's Finca Miranda in San José de Albán, Nariño, he raced competitively and won the Colombian under-23 individual time trial title in 2018. He now farms Castillo under shade with guamo and walnut trees that fix nitrogen, alongside strict water-conservation practices. 84 points, roasted medium for espresso and moka.”
