El Obraje

Highlights

“Mr. Pablo Guerrero was the first to introduce coffee to the Tangua area outside of the city of Pasto in the year 2000. When Pablo first began planting coffee in 2000 he grew traditional coffee and didn't have a mill of his own. By 2009 he had built a facility to process his own coffee and entered the specialty coffee market. From there he continued to experiment; he planted new varieties and started processing Natural as well as Washed coffee. Hacienda El Obraje is a truly stunning property in the mountains of the Nariño department, with coffee planted on the slopes descending to a river valley. The nearly 100 hectare estate now cultivates coffee on only 25 of its hectares; the rest of the land has been converted into a natural forest reserve by Pablo.”
