An agricultural manager and native of San Juan de Pasto, Alvaro is part of a family coffee project that began in 1998, when his parents purchased the property, moved to the farm, and began growing coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrisa Eterna has five hectares planted with coffee at 2000 masl. The farm's volcanic soils are rich in organic matter, whilst narrow canyons channel warm winds through the surrounding landscape—the feature that gave Brisa Eterna its name.
