About the farm and farmer

Wilton Benitez possesses a wealth of knowledge and expertise as a highly specialized coffee producer, having dedicated his lifetime to cultivating exceptional and highly sought-after coffee varieties.

Driven by a deep curiosity, Wilton delved into the world of fermentation technology, studying its applications in diverse industries such as wine, beer, and cheese production. Through this exploration, he gained valuable insights into the intricate processes behind these products. With this newfound understanding, Wilton began meticulously controlling specific variables in the coffee processing, including sugar content, pH levels, and fermentation duration.

The farm sits at 1,750m in Cauca, where coffee trees grow in harmony with bananas, citrus, and native shade. Managed by Robinson, a third-generation farmer and Wilton’s close collaborator, El Girasol has shifted toward progressive, science-forward processing with one goal: to build a more sustainable, quality-driven future in coffee.
