Edwin Burbano - Colombia

The San Isidro farm is located at 2,030 meters (6,600 feet) in Los Robles, San Agustín – a region with a strong coffee community and a strong commitment to quality. Edwin Burbano and his siblings cultivate five hectares of land here, three of which are planted with Tabi and Caturra. Over the years, despite difficult circumstances, the family has built a clear vision: self-determined, high-quality production. Access to the specialty market came through the Monkaaba Project – a regional network that helps producers from Huila share know-how, achieve fair prices, and export their own lots. The contact was made through Edwin's sister, Carolina, whose Tabi plot was already enjoying success. Motivated by this, Edwin and his family also planted a separate lot – this is their second micro-lot ever and their first export to Europe. The targeted processing (80 hours of fermentation in airtight bags, slow drying over 20–25 days) underscores the commitment to quality. The coffee exhibits a clear, floral, and structured profile—with delicate acidity, bright sweetness, and a texture that excels in both filter and espresso. It represents a young generation of producers breaking new ground.
