Gustavo Figueroa

Gustavo Figueroa Cantillo manages Lusitania, a farm at 1460 masl in Garzón, Huila. The farm occupies 60 hectares, 35 of which are dedicated to coffee and planted with around 200,000 Castillo trees. This is a very large farm by Colombian standards, with producers in this region typically working just 2-3 hectares. Coffee on Lusitania is harvested manually by a team of 40 pickers. This lot underwent a controlled fermentation in closed stainless steel tanks, then was dried in a mechanical silo to ensure consistency and uniform moisture.
