Pitalito is the largest producer of high-quality coffee in Colombia. The region is characterized by its rich biodiversity and countless bodies of water and is consequently one of the areas with the highest number of designated protected territories. The climate is humid with relatively cool temperatures throughout the year ranging from 50-75 degrees.

Nelson’s quaint, secluded farm is just a short trip up the mountainside from the city. The 2-hectare farm is abundant with Typica and Caturra varieties and complementary crops that sit on steep slopes overlooking miles of lush, picturesque views, spanning southern Huila at 1750 meters high. Once harvested, Nelson lets the coffee rest in the fruit for 24 hours before pulping on site. It then undergoes a slow thirty six hour fermentation before being slowly dried on covered, raised beds for three to four weeks.
