Juan Saldarriaga, a member of the second generation in coffee production, began a new project in 2010 after completing studies in Germany. The goal was to move away from the traditional coffee market in Colombia and establish direct trade for their coffee. To achieve this, a transition process started, focusing on shifting from conventional coffee production to specialty coffee.
At La Claudina farm, the team worked tirelessly to improve the quality of their coffee. Over the years, they have implemented numerous changes, ensuring better quality with each harvest. The entire process, from picking to wet mill, dry mill, and export, is meticulously controlled by them.
