This selection comes from Hoyo Rico, the farm of Arnulfo Caro and Martha Cartagena. Like many in the region, Arnulfo once worked as a miner. Inspired by the success of his brother, Santiago Caro, in specialty coffee, Arnulfo made the leap from mining to cultivation. Santiago shared Chiroso seedstock with him, opening doors to markets that had previously been out of reach.
At over 2,100 meters above sea level, Arnulfo and Martha transformed a piece of land into a thriving coffee farm. Located in Anzá, Antioquia, its high altitude is the key to producing such a delicious and distinctive coffee.
