Victor’s story begins far from the coffee fields of San Adolfo. Born and raised in Pitalito, Victor studied law in Bogotá and worked as a lawyer until 2020, when the pandemic abruptly canceled his plans to move to Sweden for a postgraduate degree. Victor returned home to Huila—back to his family’s farm, Finca Buenos Aires. Though coffee farming began as a temporary refuge, it quickly became a full-time calling.
For this gesha lot, he carefully picks cherries over three days, and mixes the cherries from the last day of picking with the cherries that have begun the fermentation process a day and two earlier. From there, he floats ripe cherries to remove defects, then de-pulps and ferments submerged in water in a sealed container for three days. The coffee is washed twice and dried slowly for 15–20 days, depending on weather conditions.
