Of the farm's total area, 3.5 hectares are dedicated to coffee production at 2,050 metres above sea level, supporting around 13,000 coffee trees across a diverse range of cultivars — from Caturra and Pacamara to Pink Bourbon, Chiroso, and Gesha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brothers bring complementary skills to the farm: Luis Enrique is an agronomist who manages the plots and commercialisation of the coffee, whilst Robinson oversees processing and drying.
