Luis Anabel: Geisha 200, Colombia

A return to LONG & SHORT. Luis Anibal, a second-generation coffee artisan from Acevedo, Huila, embarked on his journey with a modest plot at just 15.

By the time he reached 40, he proudly presided over a sprawling 20-hectare farm, yet, facing the ebbs of market fluctuations, he sought innovation. Joining the specialty coffee association in 2011, he emerged as a trailblazer, crafting exclusive micro-lots and pioneering alternative processing techniques. In 2012, he made waves by planting 5000 Gesha trees, enriching his farm’s tapestry with rare varietals.

Beyond his passion for coffee, Luis is a beacon of community empowerment, providing vital employment opportunities. Guided by Cofinet in 2019, he embraced sustainability by interweaving native trees, nurturing both the land and his craft. With each cup bearing the fruits of his dedication, Luis Anibal’s legacy resonates: a testament to quality, innovation, and a thriving community spirit.
