Sergio is 28 years old and has been a coffee farmer for as long as he can remember. He grew up surrounded by coffee, following a family tradition of growing and selling their harvest to the traditional coffee market. It was only recently that his family began discovering the world of specialty coffee, opening up new possibilities for what they could do with their coffees.
What excites Sergio the most about specialty coffee is fermentation. He loves experimenting with different processes and discovering what works best for each coffee. For him, it is about exploring the full potential of a coffee and uncovering qualities that his family had never known their coffees could express.
Sergio has two siblings. His older brother works alongside Oscar Osorio, while Sergio has chosen to dedicate most of his time to managing and developing his own farm. He currently lives with his parents and remains closely connected to his family.
Although coffee is the main focus of the farm, they also grow a small amount of avocados, primarily for the domestic market. Sergio once lived in Medellín, where he worked for a Hass avocado exporting company. However, agriculture had always been part of his life, and after some time in the city, he decided to return to the farm and dedicate himself fully to coffee production and processing.
Today, he is exploring new varieties, including Chiroso and Pink Bourbon, which he has recently planted. However, most of the farm is still dedicated to Castillo and Colombia. As he continues learning about specialty coffee and experimenting with fermentation, Sergio is eager to discover just how much potential his family's coffees have to offer.
